Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie Talk 19:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Vandlising your own talk page is still vandalising edit
You have replaced this page with "..." twice. The only reason I can think of for doing that is that you dislike the above message. That is just plain running away from responsibility. Only vandals delete complete articles and replace them with unconstructive statements. Does that make you are a vandal? Your talk page is not yours. It belongs to Wikipedia, just like everything else on this site. Smartguy777 (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's not running away from responsibility. The above message was inappropriate, unnecessary and unlikely to be a recurring issue. My contributions were appropriate and more in line with Wikipedia's standards than most of the links on the pages I contributed to. My contribs were gone over with a fine-tooth comb (and interpreted with bias) strictly because somebody didn't like the perfectly valid cites in the controversy section of Tim Pawlenty's page. Now I get name-calling from strangers. That's a lovely way to encourage people to contribute. Princewally (talk) 14:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Three things:
- First, blogs are not reliable sources. Links to them are appearently (I'm sorry if this is incorrect) not encouraged on Wikipedia. From Ohnoitsjamies edit summary, it appears those links are to blogs.
- Secondly, (and more importantly) you should not replace a message with "..." just because you disagree with it. You should have explained to Ohnoitsjamie why you disagreed with it. It is forbidden to edit someone elses post on a talk page unless the post is vandalism.
- Finally, I wasn't calling you names! Smartguy777 (talk) 03:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC).
