User talk:Mdwyer/surgeryimages

Hello , I had sent you an email but you didn't answer me , so I don't know whether you received it or not and I also don't know if it is proper to use this page for my request... Since the previous email that i had send ,my site has been banned for good since you reported it as spam. I now know that I shouldn't have posted it to various wikipedia articles because the site was mine and I had to use the discussion page first.I tried to get it unbanned using the spam list discussion but no one even answered my request. I would like to ask your help for unbaning the site,in return I promise you that I will never post any external link to my site before asking in the discussion of each article as the rules say and generally I will avoid even the slightest action that might be considered wrong

We should be using my Talk page instead, but everyone else uses this one, soo....

I consulted with some other users, and they felt that adding a link to a page you operate is against the rules set out in WP:EL. I'm actually quite a bit more liberal in my reading of WP:EL -- I was only concerned about the content. I saw your changes and thought at least one of the links (neck surgey? I can't recall.) provided some great images and didn't look nearly as 'spammy' as I had originally said. So, I put your link back on one of the pages. Alas, someone ELSE came along and removed it again. Such is Wikipedia, I'm afraid.

The correct thing to do would be to upload those images to Wikipedia itself. However, I assume that finding the right person to release the copyright might be nearly impossible. You had links to the sources, but the source pages were nearly impossible to navigate. So, I now feel that your site adds value to the articles. Today, at least.

I have posted a message to the blocklist discussion, but keep in mind that I'm just as much of a nobody on Wikipedia as anyone else. My name doesn't count for anything. --Mdwyer 00:51, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
