Please stop spamming Cape Verde.
In the end it will get your site put on a much wider spam blacklist
i dont understand why either my pictures page, weather page, forum or main page cant have a link on the page, its all real content for people looking for further details on cape verde and its non commericial, you may think capeverdebreaks.com sounds like a travel agent/tour operator but if you look at the site you can see it isnt. my site has lots of useful information and their are new pages added almost daily or updates.
Also that climate section comes from my site and i added it to wikipedia, a link to my weather section would provide people with more information on the climate of cape verde.
The gallery, if that section was left other website owners would put their gallerys on it too and create more information for people to see.
Thanks for contacting me
- Ok, good to talk. Your site looks ok, although it has prominent adverts which is a minus. However, Wikipedia has rules. You will not be allowed several links from this page to your pages: you should have stuck to one. Lots of editors will see multiple links as spam and remove them all. Also once someone has removed one of your links the rules say you yourself should not put it back (this is called the RRR rule): you have to see if someone else takes your side. I will put one link back: please stick to that link. I cannot stop someone else from removing it: the linking on this page has already been mentioned on Spam pages so it may get taken out automatically. If you add a second they will all go. That make sense?
- One link was all i ever wanted, its just when it was taken off i thought i would try a different link to a different section of my site. thanks though
- Okay, but four times in the last week you have added a second link to a page which already had one link on it. The whole history of page edits is there to look at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cape_Verde&action=history. One other editor already removed a second link with a "one link only comment" but you went and put the second link back again. I appreciate that you were new to Wikipedia and that this was a misunderstanding. Lets stick to the link we have now. --BozMo talk 10:52, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- yep, all sounds great.
Hey, I was the one who most recently removed that link, as part of a general clearing out of generic links (based on WP:NOT#LINK). The main reason I was getting rid of your link, and links like yours, was that there are 4 different links of links already on the page. I personally feel that it would be better for you to try to put your site on those directories -- Wikipedia itself is not supposed to be a directory of links, after all.
Your site's not bad these days. The link to your site seems alright as per WP:LINKS#What should be linked, but the fact that you are adding it makes it somewhat of a conflict of interest. The "WP:SPAM#How not to be a spammer" page has some tips on how not to look like a spammer, and points out that if your primary goal in adding a link is to send people to your site, you might want to rethink what you're doing. Plus, why link to your site in other languages on the english-language wikipedia?
I have to admit I have a slight bias considering I saw what your site looked like when you first tried to add it :), so I'm not going to get into an edit war over this. But I feel like Wikipedia could relatively easily include the same information on your site (and in some cases already does), by researching (and citing!) the same sources, making a link to your site unnecessary on the main Cape Verde page.
Anyway, say hi to Mark if he's still around. --Tanketz 16:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Chilean edits
editHello, Hankmarvin, since you have made several edits to articles about Chile, you may be interested in looking at the Wikipedia:Chile-related regional notice board to pick up on other topics that need attention, or to express needs which you perceive pertaining to Chile.
