Stop

Don't use Misplaced Pages to try to advance a political cause of any sort. Don't spam messages asking people to sign a petition. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I have replied to this message on Bunchofgrapes talk page. The petition is neither political nor spam.PJHaseldine 18:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Please understand that if it doesn't improve the encyclopedia, it doesn't belong on Misplaced Pages. I don't know what you think you mean when you say it isn't political, but I guess it doesn't matter. Contacting even selected users for a purpose like this is an unambiguously inappropriate use of Misplaced Pages, I am afraid. If you have already stopped; thanks. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Please look at my user page where you will see "Misplaced Pages articles cited in e-petition to prime minister Tony Blair". The logic of your position seems to be that it is unambiguously inappropriate to cite Misplaced Pages in petitions to the Prime Minister. Surely you don't mean that!PJHaseldine 19:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
It isn't inappropriate to cite Misplaced Pages in petitions to the Prime Minister; it is inappropriate to use Misplaced Pages to carry about the business of pointing people to the petition. Do you see the distinction? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there then an appropriate way of pointing British Wikipedians to the petition?PJHaseldine 19:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure, honestly -- there may not be. The obvious thing to do would be to use the "E-mail this user" link (in the toolbox to the left) to contact people; but really, that still strikes me as an undesirable spamming behavior. I don't know what others might say about that. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your honesty! I'll take advice on the question and will proceed accordingly.PJHaseldine 21:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, Thanks. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
