Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia as we drive for print or DVD publication; see the welcome page to learn more. Thanks.

Cellular repeater
[edit]You removed the external link on the cellular repeater page I wrote. I understand your reasoning, but since I used it heavily as a reference in the creation of the site, and it contains some extra information, I feel it should stay there. I was under the impression that Wikipedia did not issue a blanket ban to all sites with any commercial aspects, just those which offered no relevant contribution to the understanding of the topic of the article. I do not stand to make any fiscal or otherwise commercial gain by promoting this site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobodyinpart (talk • contribs)
- Hi Nobodyinpart. Sorry I had to remove that link but we have a serious spam problem at Wikipedia. We have advertisers constantly trying to sneak their links into many of our articles. In response to this we have had to adopt a very strict external link policy. Monkeyman(talk) 17:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Spam in Clear Voice
[edit]Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Clear Voice, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Clear Voice is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Clear Voice, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

File permission problem with File:Cellular repeater.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Cellular repeater.gif, which you've sourced to permission not documented in any way. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Saibo (Δ) 22:54, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
