Additions of http://.weWorked.com/

[edit]

Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.--Hu12 (talk) 19:43, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request to reapply weworked/

[edit]

I added two sites to this list. Both sites deserve placement just as much as any of the other sites on the page. I will happily remove the ".com" from the name, but Wikipedia is intended to inform readers. Leaving off two major providers for visitors to see makes no since. These sites were not added as spam. I ask that you please reconsider. The web should be open and fair to all, not just those with tenure and deep pockets. Please reconsider.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Holmjohnii (talk • contribs) 21:01, 24 October 2012‎

Re: Wiki List Help

[edit]

I don't participate much in this type of list discussion nowadays. But I can tell you that some of the admins involved in this kind of list dispute are particularly clueless. I would advise against reverting them much, if at all, since some admins thrive on driving away editors by blocking them by arbitrarily applying WP:Edit warring. See the top paragraph of my user page: User:Timeshifter. Follow the links too if you want more info. --Timeshifter (talk) 18:09, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I totally understand. Thanks for the reply. I am going to try to get the main page added to see if that helps. Now I am afraid that he will nitpick that out of spite. Anywho, all I can do is try.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Holmjohnii (talk • contribs) 18:16, 25 October 2012
I've addressed your comment on the appropriate talk page, however you account appears, based on your edit history, to exist for the sole or primary purpose of promoting WeWorked in apparent violation of Conflict of interest and anti-spam guidelines (John Holmes II founder [weworked.com/about]). Looking through your contributions as a whole, they are all WeWorked related. Wikipedia owes much of its success to its openness. However, that very openness sometimes attracts people who seek to exploit the site. This is just such a case. It would also appear you are also actively promoting "WeWorked" on other sites across the web, such as creating "WeWorked" on VentureBeat Profiles(10/24/2012 06:29PM by holmjohnii[1]). Wikipedia is NOT a "vehicle for advertising". Equally Wikipedia is not a place to to promote your product.--Hu12 (talk) 00:57, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hu12 I am sure you are a good person and mean well. But allow me to remind you of the following. Here is the link for reference http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:OUTING#Posting_of_personal_information

Posting another editor's personal information is harassment, unless that person voluntarily had posted his or her own information, or links to such information, on Wikipedia. Personal information includes legal name, date of birth, identification numbers, home or workplace address, job title and work organisation, telephone number, email address, or other contact information, whether any such information is accurate or not. Posting such information about another editor is an unjustifiable and uninvited invasion of privacy and may place that editor at risk of harm outside of their activities on Wikipedia.

Dredging up their off line opinions to be used to constantly challenge their edits can be a form of harassment, just as doing so regarding their past edits on other Wikipedia articles may be. Holmjohnii (talk) 01:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite. I'll remind you first, that your username contains your personal name, second you posted it here and lastly you have voluntarily linked to your information for review here. I understand your desire to have "WeWorked" included in wikipedia, but you may want to be aware of Wikipedia's Law of Unintended Consequences. I am sure you are a good person also, however there are some guidelines you should consider;
--Hu12 (talk) 04:51, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(unindent). Holmjohnii. Please see WP:REALNAME. I would advise against using any part of your real name in your user name here. I suggest changing your username. See: WP:UNC. I have no idea if WeWorked belongs in this list or not. I have not studied the issue. I do not know what the current requirements are for such lists. I don't bother anymore for the reasons I stated previously.

I think the only certain way is to successfully create a separate article first. It looks like you tried. Follow the advice on how to improve that article so that it survives. Don't waste your time arguing with admins. Above all, don't try to add back WeWorked to the list until you get a separate article to survive deletion attempts. Many admins enjoy blocking people, and driving them away.

Also, see WP:TALK. You can delete anything you want from your user and talk pages. See the notice on my talk page just above the table of contents. --Timeshifter (talk) 09:23, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
