If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Applied behavior analysis, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. WLU (talk) 19:44, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Second warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page B. F. Skinner do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. WLU (talk) 19:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Remark

Hi, I found the Skinner film to be quite good and worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia. Understandably, however, other editors are concerned about the obvious conflict of interest issues, particularly when you are posting the link to so many pages. I will go through the list, and see if it has been mistakenly been removed by any overzealous editors. Best regards, and thanks, Silly rabbit (talk) 17:53, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

February 2008 link spam

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Applied behavior analysis. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.. Similarly for Radical behaviorism, Experimental analysis of behavior, Operant conditioning, Shaping (psychology), and B. F. Skinner. Eubulides (talk) 20:06, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

COI SPAM

Please use the talk pages of the articles to get consensus before adding your films to the articles. This will get around people assuming a COI or SPAM. Thanks! Josh.Pritchard.DBA (talk) 23:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

This might be worth bringing up at WP:COIN. It's either a genuine attempt to improve wikipedia through the addition of external links of debatable use, or a somewhat sophisticated attempt to circumvent WP:SPAM/WP:EL by uploading short chunks of text to specific pages. It's out of my experience to judge, but you might find a good response there Josh. I'd provide a context of before/after (link to business page with no relationship to wikipage's actual subject/linking to short films on googlevideo with blatant advertising in each film). That the editor is not engaging in any discussion with any of the three people posting on his/her talk page is making it harder to WP:AGF. Plus, AN postings are usually a good way to learn.
