Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Amanda.nelson12, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Your edits

Instead of linking to transcripts, please try to write the relevant content that they contain into the article, and they you can cite the transcript as a reference. See our page on citing sources to see how that is done. Generally adding links in bulk is classified as external link spamming and considered a form of undue promotion. If you continue to add external links, they may be removed by spam-conscious editors. ThemFromSpace 21:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Your edits

It appears you may have a conflict of interest in your link additions. Please read this: Misplaced Pages:Advice for the cultural sector. It would be good if you would introduce yourself, perhaps by leaving a note on your user page, and attempt to contribute something other than links to the encyclopedia. Also note that per the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style, in the heading "External links" only the first word is capitalized. It would also be very helpful if you would start using edit summaries. Thanks, Katr67 (talk) 07:52, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

January 2010

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Misplaced Pages. Template:Do not delete WuhWuzDat 16:04, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree - the "only warning" was very hasty and rather bitey. – ukexpat (talk) 16:25, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. Is there a way to get this revoked or someone to talk to as we have approximately 500 transcripts we were hoping to link to? Amanda.nelson12 (talk) 16:27, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Currently being discussed at Misplaced Pages:Help_desk#External_Links_2. Hope this helps, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Do not worry about the warning, it will not be held against you as you acted in good faith. --Taelus (talk) 16:35, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
(ec)I agree, and I don't agree .. I have answered on the help desk as well, but I'll repeat something similar here.
Amanda, your links are not spam, but the way you are adding (while several editors in the last days have already left you messages along the same lines) is considered spamming here. I also believe that there is better use for the links you are adding (as one editor above also suggests), or that your links are maybe sometimes superfluous, and I do want to say that you did continue while others did show concerns (which does not 'help' in terms of 'assuming good faith'. (I'll examine your additions a bit further in a bit).
May I suggest you to read through some of our guidelines:
All in all, I do think you have a good resource, and that you could help us improve several documents here, and I do think that on some it is indeed just OK as an external link, but not everywhere.
I hope this explains, if you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask. And please, when other editors show concerns, or have questions, please reply to them first (and be sure that their concerns are gone) before proceeding. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra 16:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
