User talk:Topgun9

Welcome!

Hello, Topgun9, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Images

When uploading images please always edit the image description page and do two things:

State the source of the image (created yourself, the address of a web page or another source.)
State the copyright. The easiest way to list the copyright is to use a copyright tag. The most important tags are {{GFDL}}, {{PD}}, and {{fairuse}}. GFDL is for images that you create yourself. PD is for public domain images (pre-1923 in most cases). Fair use is for copyrighted images that we can use under the fair use rules in the USA.

Without proper source and copyright information, images will eventually be deleted!

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images (on my talk page) and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much.

Hi brenneman, Please respond to http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Debt_settlement I am just trying to improve the articles on Personal Finance. Any constructive feedback is appreciated.

Please become familiar with Wikipedia three revert rule before you make any more edits.--MONGO 07:03, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I did not know about it before. Topgun9 07:05, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I figured that you didn't know about it...it is designed to prevent edit wars, (reverting back and forth between several users). I also have to ask you to not post links to websites that do not help to support the article for references sake. Edits such as the ones you are posting are considered to be "spam" or "advertising" and Wikipedia does not permit these types of external links. Otherwise, let me know if there is anything else you need.--MONGO 07:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I created an article on debt settlement. It has been redirected to Debt I feel the topic of Debt settlement deserves an article of its own, and the article i wrote I think is a good starting point. Also I see that I have been reported as a spammer. How can I request for that to be removed. Topgun9 07:12, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just take care not to do anymore spam please, and contribute as much as possible to the talk pages. Bear in mind, editors are not online non stop, so questions or comments left in talk pages may take a day or two to get a response. Patience, is the key--MONGO 07:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Topgun - Hi. Have you reviewed the links I provided at the top of this section? They really do a better job than I could at explaining the problem. Please don't at all feel like you're being targeted if you see other similar links that aren't getting removed, that just means they aren't on anyone's radar. On Credit scoring for example I removed all the forum links. So, can I ask that you read the guidelines, think about how they apply, and comment on my talk page before you add anymore links to your website? - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 05:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Topgun9 06:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks, I will go through the guidelines in depth, might take me a couple of days.[reply]

We're in no hurry, I plan to be around for decades. If you have any questions, please use my talk page. And thanks for being patient, I'm sure it seems a bit like I'm hounding you.
