Welcome[edit]

Hi Danniella and welcome! I read your informative OWEZ article and wonder if you may have some other wind farm articles to contribute, as we hear so little about particular wind farms in your part of the world... -- Johnfos 08:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. This is a project I happened to work on myself (environmental impact assessment). It's an interesting topic though and I might look into it a bit more when time becomes available... DanniellaWB 08:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seven wonders[edit]

Hi, I didn't follow the reasoning of your recent edit. The previous text, "Compiled lists of recommended travel destinations often feature the Taj Mahal, which also appears on several listings of seven wonders of the modern world. On July 7, 2007, the Taj Mahal was selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, a global campaign that received 100 million votes." indicated that Taj Mahal appears on several recommended travel sites/ seven-wonder lists (e.g. Hillman's list), of which the latest "New Wonders" is only one. However the current version, "As of July 7, 2007, the Taj Mahal was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a list compiled by the Swiss based The New Open World Corporation.", by mentioning the "New wonder" list in isolation, seems to give it undue importance. Was that your intentions ? I am leaving this messaage on your talk page rather than on Talk:Taj Mahal since the volume of conversation there is already too loud Abecedare 18:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. It was in need of change -as it included non verifiable information (e.g. the 100million claim) as well as information already mentioned on it's own page. I made the -unintended as I was actually aiming to remove the bias..- mistake of deleting the first line as well. I'll change it again, thanks. I'd much prefer to simply add a line to all these wikiarticles along the lines of "This <insert location> appears on several listings of wonders of the modern world.".

Thanks ! By the way, my prediction is that someone soon will add a second sentence specifically mentioning the "New wonder" list. I am personally loath to edit war with an army of drive-through editors (and a few committed editors) on this arguably trivial issue, so I prefer that a brief mention be made in the Tourism sentence, rather than attempts to add it to the lead or a whole new section (!). Of course, I also expect that all this hoopla will die down within a week once people have some new fad to be excited about. :-) Abecedare 19:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removing all these references is on my to do list for July 10, 2008 as I'm sure everyone has forgotten about it by then. :) DanniellaWB 22:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Manjiro[edit]

Hi Danniella! I undid your undo of the recent link added to this article; hope you don't mind. I didn't post it originally, I just found upon reading it to be an appropriate, non-spam addition. Thanks. -- P L E A T H E R _talk 23:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That could very well be :) I originally reverted all edits by user Tracy49 I could easily find. The user, a staff writer for that website, is now banned from Wikipedia for spamming. Looking at the link still don't really see what it adds to the Wikipedia article btw DanniellaWB 05:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Danniella, I am not a staff writer for this site. I work with the site to ensure that the public is getting information that would be useful to them. The information that I had posted the other day is not considered spam. I would say only one of the links I made a little vague so I spoke with Yamla and didn't repost. However, the link made to this page (Manjiro) is very useful and very relevant to the subject since the article is coming from Fairhaven, MA where the majority of Manjiro journey to the U.S.A. was. I thank Pleather for reading the article and realizing that it is relevant and useful for her. The article is about his continued legacy and upkeep of his former housing. I apologize if you do not considered that relevant, but I can almost gaurantee that alot of people interested in this subject would be interested in reading that. If you would like, please feel free to use any content from that article on the Wikipedia page, but please remember to refernce our article on the SouthCoastToday.com site.

I have be approved to repost on Wikipedia. I was new to the site and did not realize that I needed to get approval from every page administrator in order to post something. For future, if you could please place yourself in the consumer view and what would interest them about the page that would be appreciated rather than just spamming everything that is submitted. I think you are missing the point of this being a place that consumers can further their search on information about everything on the web. Thank You, --Tracys49 18:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- - Pardon me?!?!? You're now lecturing ME about this? You purposely spammed in some unrelevant and unreferenced -in the articles- links -all to the site you're working for- in about two dozen articles. (one example: the fisheries article where you most likely didn't even bother to read that article and just spammed in two "newsarticles" that happened to mention fisheries.) Most importantly you ignored a fair number of comments and questions about this and only started interacting with others when you found yourself banned from editing wikipedia. The consumers view? The consumer is looking for relevant information on certain topics, not random weblinks to sites that happen to feature the same keywords. Wikipedia is not a link dump for you to use to promote your site. I suggest you read up on this by following some of the links that people have posted on your talk page.

Oh, and here I see you're basically giving permission to reuse information from your companies site... you might want to recheck that statement and read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights DanniellaWB 22:38, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
