  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to James D. Watson. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article must include proper sources. Thank you. — DIEGO talk 18:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


There was nothing libelous in what was included in the Mnuez commentary. In fact, after having a look at your own pages, I'm quite sure that you'll agree that there's nothing libelous in the Mnuez commentary. Please read it again. - mnuez

No it is not libelous. However, it is a blog (and therefore inappropriate). The message above was an automated template and the BLP/libel message was the closest to explaining why the link was not appropriate. Basically, your addition (a blog) to the external links section of James Watson was a)not from a reliable source, b) was against WP:LINKS guidelines, and c) was supporting contentious information that is not appropriate for a biographical article under WP:BLP guidelines. As commentary from a non-notable source (you), it is not appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia article, or as an external link. It is considered WP:LINKSPAM. — DIEGO talk 17:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I notice you keep adding links to your blog on Wikipedia. This violates WP:COI and makes your website a candidate for blacklisting on wikipedia as it is considered spamming. Your blog does not meet wp:rs (Wikipedia Reliable Sources) policy, nor does any blog. It isn't personal, it is just against the policies here. Please quit. Pharmboy 22:36, 21 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Reverting edits using your IP anonymously is not different than when logged in. It is still trying to list your blog. There are plenty of tools here to simply trace any instance of your blog's webaddress automatically, after all, so adding an inappopropriate website using any name/ip is fruitless and only wastes time. Please stop it. Pharmboy 12:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply


Please do not post blogs as sources or external links as it is clear violation of wp:rs and wp:links. Pharmboy 21:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)


I don't have the wiki experience that you do and I feel like you're less than welcoming of me for that reason. You implied on my page that I made attempts to log on "anonymously" to accomplish things that I wouldn't do under my user name. I feel insulted by that accusation.

I could understand however how a commentary on James Watson might be inappropriate (though I'm not yet CERTAIN of that being the case) but I can not agree with you that a photograph of Rulon Jeff's tomb is somehow spam. Yes, I took the picture when I was in Colorado City but I don't agree that it's spam and I feel as though you're "We Are Watching You" messages are unkind notes of intimidation toward others who simply don't yet have the wikipedia experience that you have. They seem hardly welcoming and, at least with regards to the Jeffs article, terribly inappropriate. A photo is a photo regardless of who added it. And again, you're many "tools" for watching people you intimidate make you seem quite elitist and contrary to the democratic spirit of wikipedia. - mnuez —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.206.180.16 (talk) 23:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • I answered this on my talk page, which is where I found the question first. Please look there so I don't have to retype it :) Pharmboy 01:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dov Gruner, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.etzel.org.il/english/people/gruner.htm.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 07:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Damn that bot is good! there were maybe TWO sentences throughout the piece that were from the etzel page. TWO! Anyhow, now there are none. Pretty cool how it found that though. Also, I'm surprsied that two sentences from an entire article are actually a problem.

Oh, wait - it may have been referring to the quoted letter. That's not a copyright issue though because that's... a quoted letter! It's reprinted in many places.
