Please stop adding links!
Whilst I'm sure you mean well, adding links to a lot of articles without asking on the talk page is generally considered to be spam. Please stop. LinaMishima 20:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- You are also adding them against standard style guidelines by making the link bold. LinaMishima 20:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, please do not add the same link to every page you can find that seems remotely relevant. Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle for advertizing. Best, Kukini 20:30, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Although articles may relate to eachother, that does not mean that a link is suitable for placement on all the articles. It is normally far better to add it to a select few for which the relivance is undisputable. If you are working for this website, it is generally advisable that you do not add the link yourself, but rather request the addition on the talk page, stating your association. This prevents any bias in your actions. LinaMishima 21:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Links
I have cleaned up the bolding on the links. Don't forget to review the above links as well as you continue to venture into the wikicommunity. Also, I tend to agree with LinaMishima comments directly above. Cheers, Kukini 21:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
mobbing.ca link
Hello, User:Radyx, and thank you for your note—it's so nice to see someone participating in constructive dialogue on Misplaced Pages for a change.
I have looked at the mobbing.ca website, and I am just not sure that it belongs on Misplaced Pages. It seems to be full of two things: resources for what to do if you feel you or someone you know is being unfairly targeted and mobbed in the workplace, and particular opinion pieces about mobbing (like the latest article, "The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the Asper/Canwest Temple of Hypocrisy"). There is also a significant amount of advertising, such as for Deepak Chopra's latest product, "Wisdom Quest", which certainly does qualify as linkspam.
Please check out Misplaced Pages:External Links and read through what is acceptable and what is not in terms out outside linking. I do not feel that this website meets those guidelines. (I also don't feel that Undoing Scapegoating meets those guidelines either, which is why I removed it as well in the same edit.) If you can convince me otherwise, however, I would be amenable to seeing the site go back on the Scapegoat page. --Makaristos 16:34, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
