Removal of links from disk encryption software

Hello, you recently removed a bunch of links from the 'disk encryption software' article, including an internal link to BestCrypt, with the message: "Removed spam links (i.e. sites offering commercial products or services -- even if there's "free trial"), which were against the guidelines.".

While I do not disagree with removal of excessive external links, as the author of the BestCrypt article, I would like to know which guideline you are referring to? The only relevant one I could find was WP:SPAM that, does not appear to mention anything like the criteria you specified, and certainly does not state anything relevant against internal links (canvassing does not apply since the particular link was very relevant to the article). I have re-added BestCrypt for now. -- intgr 17:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you're right that an internal link justifies a link from another article. However, the BestCrypt entry on Wikipedia is already marked for possible deletion. "If notability cannot be established, the article is more likely to be considered for deletion, as per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion." Links to such a Wikipedia entry are potential spam too.

Trying to start edit war on disk encryption software

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cralar (talk • contribs)

Who is Adm30?

Hello, I have noted that the user Adm30 (talk · contribs) has recently begun editing Talk:Disk encryption software as well as the article itself. Do you know who he is? I really hope he is not a sock puppet or meat puppet, but as he has registered today, has made many edits to that article, and appears to reiterate your arguments in addition to having a somewhat similar editing style, it does not seem like an unreasonable suspicion as per the policy at this point. I'm giving you a chance to refute this without proceeding with the official guidelines. -- intgr 18:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Please note that following the results of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Maxt, Adm30 (talk · contribs) has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet of this account. Please see WP:SOCK, and avoid any abusive use of sockpuppets in the future, or you may find yourself blocked without further warning. Thank you. Luna Santin 10:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Leaving Wikipedia

Hello, just wondering... Should I feel guilty for you leaving Wikipedia? Have a nice day. -- intgr 15:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:TrueCrypt-Wizard.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:TrueCrypt-Wizard.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 04:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
