Hello, I need help with my Wikipedia account. I thought Wikipedia was about freedom of information but a user or editor blocked my i.p address and has taken over complete control of one listing in particular. Firstly my user name is: mat78au (Redacted -- DQ (t) (e) 16:19, 18 August 2011 (UTC))

If you log into my account and view the history you'll see that someone called HJ Mitchell blocked my IP. He thinks I'm a spammer but all I was trying to do was share my [FREE] not for profit website with other users. I have NOTHING to gain from doing this and NO advertising at all. If you search for FORD CORTINA and click on the Wikipedia listing for it, then scroll down to EXTERNAL LINKS one site called Cortina MK1 keeps deteling my web page link, in fact they have deleted everyone's link [there used to be 10 or more] now they have got this HJ Mitchell to lock my account/IP address.

All I want to add is this information in the 'external links' section of FORD CORTINA in Wikipedia without that Cortina MK1 site constantly deleting my page. Below is the information I'd like to add please:

Australia Cortina TC-TF Picture and Video site:

http://community.webshots.com/user/tfghiatcxlematt?vhost=community

Wikipedia is supposed to be about freedom of information and my site is only an educational site about these classic cars in Australia I don't have any advertising or anything to gain. Why must that Cortina Mk1 site dominate the external links section in FORD CORTINA Wiki page? Its unfair and its not freedom of information. Once again they got this editor called HJ Mitchell to block my IP address and I can no longer add my site. It just seems very unfair and it shouldn't be totally controlled by this Cortina MK1 site. If anything they are spammers because they require people to pay membership to join their site whereas my site is totally free!

Please help ASAP. I can give you my mobile no if you'd like to discuss this further.

Kind Regards,

Matthew.

That's still called WP:SPAM and violates our external links policy. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:35, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
