User talk:209.30.160.174

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 209.30.160.174). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. --BigDT 01:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been around a while, actually. 209.30.160.174 01:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ticket4one

Since this article does assert notability and could possibly be cleaned up if the claim of being the world's largest website is sourced, I have put it on AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ticket4one. Kimchi.sg 03:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Very well, but do know that during my time patrolling new articles I've seen that page created more than once. That's not necessarily reason for deletion, but it seems to sound like spam every time. I suspect sock-puppetry, though I have no way to prove it.

[edit] Regarding edits made to Gdawg 69

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, 209.30.160.174! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule facebook\.com\/.+, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 06:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Your bot just removed a speedy delete template from a perfectly nonsensical article. I didn't even insert any links.

It's probably treating speedy-deletion tags by IPs as vandalism, which they usually are. Why not register? — coelacan talk — 07:11, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

If IPs are not allowed to make edits of that sort, the admins should be upfront about it and block them from making those edits. Automatically reverting valid contributions is not a formula for success. Here I thought that Wikipedia was democratic, but it turns out we're the "untouchables." Even if reverting me was a valid behavior, saying it's for linkspam is obviously a bug. I'll go ahead and register, since it seems being an IP causes nothing but trouble. Much as I like wikipedia, the snobbish invisible heirarchy is unnerving.
