June 2015[edit]

Hello, I'm BusterD. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Erich Kuby because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you for your work on Erich Kuby. We appreciate your bringing coverage of this award winning writer to the encyclopedia. However, just like the editor at ip User talk:66.177.120.173, this account seems to add external links intended to draw attention to a website created by an individual or group of individuals but without professional editorial control or authentic peer review. If you feel my edits to remove links from your websites are in error, I encourage you to bring my reversions to the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. If editors there agree with your insertions of those links, you will find me contrite, apologetic, and willing to make up for my error. Until the noticeboard agrees with your insertions, I advise you decline to insert them. As I mentioned to the IP User account, self-sourced websites which are repetitively linked to pages may find themselves backlisted and unable to be linked within these pages. If you need assistance, please call on me. BusterD (talk) 04:51, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

++++++++++++++++++ The article I submitted was an almost literal translation of the German article. I added the link to the article, and some relevant Kuby quotes as well, afterward. How dare I add a link to the only website in the world devoted to Erich Kuby? By the way, I check my server stats. I get almost no referrals from Wiki. Fuck you.

August 2015[edit]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Ulysses S. Grant, you may be blocked from editing. Back at it again, huh? If it wasn't me, it would be somebody else reverting this self-published stuff. BusterD (talk) 14:00, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not the author of the new book about Grant. Therefore I am not putting in advertising or promotional material, but rather adding a valuable resource. I didn't know where to put it, whether under Biography or Military because it is both. You do NOT own this or any other Wiki article, you aßhl pharisee. Go ahead block me. I know all the tricks of anonymous accounts and roaming IP addresses. If you declare war on me, I will respond appropriately. You will get tired before I do.

Nobody has declared war on anybody. I have, several times, pointed out that self-published sources, like those from aotc.net and Alderhanna publishing don't belong in an online encylopedia, not meeting the accepted standard for reliable sources. I have pointed this out here and at the ip address you've also been using. I've reverted every instance of aotc that I found. In this case I have not reverted the Kuby website's insertion, though any Wikipedia editor may choose to do so, for the same reason I have just provided. This isn't personal unless you make it so. In the section above I was very polite in making my points, and your response was to use an obscene personal attack. As to who gets tired, I've been editing here for a number of years and have some mild understanding of Wikipedia. It appears your only contributions (outside of your translation of the Kuby article, which is a credit to you) have been to insert self-published sources in existing articles about the ACW. I have not yet applied to put the Kuby website or aotc.net on the spam blacklist, but if your behavior continues as it has to date, someone eventually will.

"self-published sources, like those from aotc.net \"

Then apply this across the board and eliminate all amateur websites, such Dave Mercado's Thomas website which has a link undisturbed for years on the Thomas page. That you single my Thomas website out is proof that you are not objective and are pursuing your personal agenda.

"Alderhanna publishing'

You haven't read Rose's book, haven't even had it in your hand. Therefore you have some other agenda for preventing its inclusion in the Grant article. I repeat, you are not objective.

"(outside of your translation of the Kuby article"

My Kuby website contains hundreds of pages I have translated from German into English from works by Kuby and Thomas Mann, original translations, not available anywhere else in the world. And you, in the fullness of your power, want to sit in judgement on me?

I put 10 years of work into my AotC website. If you care to look in Benson Bobrick's Thomas biography, you will find that he cited me 6 times. And you, in the fullness of your power at the gate, want to sit in judgement on me?

Dass ich nicht lache. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.120.173 (talk) 18:11, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up on the Mercado site. As to Alderhanna, I have many self-published books in my personal collection, but I don't try to use them on Wikipedia, they not meeting the criteria for reliable sourcing. Why so angry? You're welcome to appeal my edits and report me to the powers that be if you feel I've unfairly singled your insertions out. Reliable source noticeboard is thisaway. AN/I is thataway. It wouldn't be the first time I've made an error. BusterD (talk) 21:21, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
