The article LinemenInc Camps has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I see from your username that WP:COI may also apply. Old Moonraker (talk) 05:49, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

The only links I used were ISBN numbers that were found on Wikipedia. I do see many books listed with ISBNs, so this is confusing. Edieramer 15:00, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. All of your recent edits consist of adding the titles of novels by Michelle Diener to history articles. To me this looks like spamming, but it could also be thought of as WP:SOAP. As you point out, you aren't the only one but the Wikipedia version of "two wrongs don't make a right" is is here.

Thank you for replying so quickly. Because I got the ISBN links on the ISBN Wikipedia page, I thought they were internal, but I'm fine not using them. :User:Edieramer 15:00, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Your actions follow a series of identical edits posted by User:Historyxyz—is this you as well?

The only information I posted on this subject have been under the Edieramer name, on 5/6/2012. :User:Edieramer 15:00, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Please accept my apologies if I have been too hasty in assuming a conflict of interest, based on similarity between your username and the name of the author.

I am a fan of the author and have read both books. Though they are fiction, they feature the historical figures whose pages I posted them on, often in events that did occur in history. I'm not presenting the books as any other resource. :User:Edieramer 15:00, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. If both you and User:Historyxyz are fans of Diener, I accept that you might both be trying, independently, to add her novels to the WP pages of their real-life inspirations. Fictional works may be mentioned in an article, but only when an independent, reliable source attests to their notability in relation to the article topic.

ISBN linking: I believe you are describing Special:BookSources#Online text. If so, you will see that the purpose is "[f]or verifying citations in Wikipedia articles"; fiction isn't used for verification, so this doesn't apply.

As an aside, please have a look at WP:TPO: as a general rule breaking into other editors' comments is only done when they are really long.

All the best.
