Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:07, 7 November 2006

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. As a member of the Misplaced Pages community, I would like to remind you of Misplaced Pages's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Misplaced Pages. Thank you! ZimZalaBim (talk) 04:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that you've been watching and editing the Zedo article. I think you might be misinformed about what Zedo is. The information you're editing out is actually accurate. Zedo is software which lets an ad network act as a broker between advertisers and publishers. An advertiser would be a site like MySpace and a publisher would be a company like Publisher's Clearing House. Zedo doesn't actually create any of the ads you see, or even put them on the pages.

What you're putting up doesn't seem very neutral and has a pretty negative slant. Also, it is inaccurate. You're taking issue with Zedo, which would be like taking issue with a company which publishes a client relationship manager like PeopleSoft because one of the companies that uses their software does something you find unethical.

I suggest that if you still don't feel this is the case and you want to keep editing that article, you should dispute the article and we should get someone neutral to arbitrate. I noticed that you didn't respond to my comment in the talk page on the article in question. We should start a discussion on this if you're still not satisfied.

FAKIR"S REPLY

THE FOLLOWING IS A VERY ACTIVE DESCRIPTION OF ZEDO.

WIKIPEDIA HAS BECOME A SHAMELESS PROMOTION OF ADWARES LIKE ZEDO THAT PROMOTE THEMSELVES SHAMELESLY AND OF PRODUCT VENDORS WHO PROVIDE EXTENSIVE LINKAGE TO THEIR OPERATIONS AGAINT NPOV POLICY. WIKIPEDIA HAS NOW BECOME AN EXTENSIVE FRAUD. THESE BUSINESSES ARE PROBABLY PAYING WIKIPEDIA HEAVILY FOR LETTING THEM MAKE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS. IF SO THESE CONTRIBUTIONS SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT SHOULD BE MADE THAT WIKIPEDIA IS A PRODUCT PROMOTION DE BY PRODUCT PROMOTERS AND THAT IT IS NOT AN INDEPENT SOURCE OF PRODUCT IFORMATION.

WIKIPEDIA SHOULD NOT ISSUE BLCKAGE THREATS AGAINST TOSE THAT MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS NOT LIKED BY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTORS TO WIKIPEDIA.

ALL THE SEARCH ENGINES WILL ATTEST TO THIS FACT. NO ARTICLE WILL DESCRIBE ZEDO AS A RESPECTFUL ENTITY. ONLY ZEDO SITES WILL DESCRIBE ZEDO AS RESPECTABLE SITES.

DO YOU REALLY WANT ARBITRATION? TELL ME YOR CONNCTION WITH ZEDO AND LET US GO TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND STATE OUR CASE. I'LL SUBMIT THE SOFTWARE ON MY COMPUTERS. HAVE ZEDO MAKE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT ASKING PEOPLE TO COME FORARD IF THEIR COMPUTERS ARE AFFLICTED WITH ZEDO WARE.

DON"T FORCE ME TO SEEK THE ATTENTION OF MEDIA, LEGAL AUTHORITIES, STATE ASSEMBLIES, CONGRESS.

NPOV

Please stop. If you continue to violate Misplaced Pages's NPOV policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 07:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

WHO ARE YOU ZIMZALABIM: WHO ARE YOU? WHERE DID YOU GET THE INFORMATION ABOUT ZEDO? ARE YOU ZEDO? STATE YOUR CONNECTION WITH ZEDO. I"LL TELL YOU WHERE I GET THE INFORMATION ABOUT ZEDO. DO A SEARCH ON ZEDO IN ALL THE SEARCH ENGINES. ONLY PRO ZEDO ARTICLES ARE FROM ZEDO SITES. THERE ARE A LOT OF ARTICLES HAT DESCRIBE ZEDO AS A SPYWARE, ADWARE AND THERE ARE SITES THAT DESCRIBE HOW TO REMOVE ZEDO FROM YOUR COMPUTERS.I PERSONALLY AM A ZEDO VICTIM. I HAVE SEVERAL COMPUTERS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY ZEDO SPYWARE, ZEDO ADWARE AND CAN'T BE USED>

STOP THREATENING ME UNLESS YOU WANT TO FORCE ME TIO START AN INQUIRY INTO OUR AFFAIRS> STOP INTERFERING WITH MY WORK.

IT IS NOT NPOV POLICY TO USE WIKIPEDIA FOR SELF PROMOTION. YOU WANT MEDIATION. LET US PRESENT THE MATTER TO JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. LET IUS TELL THEM WHO WE ARE AND LET US PROCEDE FROM THERE.

Category:Internet advertising and promotion

Hi Fakir, I've reverted your edit to Category:Internet advertising and promotion because Category pages shouldn't contain article content. Especially not essay-like content. Thanks! Marasmusine 20:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
