User talk:Darklight1138

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What are you talking about? You justify your lacking claims which I doubt you can. Until then, I will continue to add what I think is relevant to my city.

The photoshoots undertaken by the group added have brought significant attention to certain historic landmarks and provide a photo essay history of some of the more interesting locations.

[edit] Please stop

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Friday (talk) 19:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia has content policies

Asking other editors to "butt out" is unhelpful. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place for anyone to write whatever they want. All content is expected to be verifiable. If you continue to add inappropriate content, you could be blocked from editing. Friday (talk) 22:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saying something is "nonsense" without justification is just as unhelpful.

The link is verifiable as it contains information relevant to Spartanburg as well as the places described in the article.

You cannot arbitrarily delete informatin without specifying why.

Maybe nonsense isn't the best word. Anyway, Wikipedia is not a place to promote your website. See Wikipedia:External links for further explanation. Friday (talk) 22:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

It is not my website. I do not pay the bandwidth bills nor do I add content or have any control over it. Editors such as yourself should not make false assumptions when you do not have all the information.

Fair enough. Wikipedia is not the place to promote that website, regardless of who owns it. I assumed a conflict of interest since you made the Slobot article and also linked to the site from another article. My apologies for the wrong assumption. Friday (talk) 23:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Its not about promotion. Its there for the same reason the other links are there, to provide more about the subject outside of wikipedia. It goes into detail about the history of Spartanburg while providing photos, alot of them in context with subjects within the article!

If you're going to delete that link, why have any outside links? You still have not justified its deletion.

It is not incumbent upon Friday to prove the link's deletion should be justified. You have added the link repeatedly and it is your job to prove that it is encyclopedic. You have violated the 3-revert rule and could be blocked at any time. Since you seem to be a new user, we are giving you some grace. But you'll have to convince the community that the link is a worthy addition on the talk page BEFORE you add it again, or you'll likely be blocked from editing.Pollinator 05:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

IT IS ONE MERE LINK! It serves as an archive to the NEWSPAPER'S ONLINE SITE GoUpstate.com, which posts THESE SAME PICTURES on their site but lacks an archive...not that I expect you people to actually research that before hitting your mighty delete key. The editor has made false assumptions, also made more than three reverts, and has partaken in what Wikipedia considers 'Lamest edit wars'. The pictures on the site are extremely important as they provide photographic and historic information, and it is quite obvious has inspired the new look and content of the Spartanburg page.

The problem is that you people see a link, fail to research it, and delete it arbitrarily. You do not realize the importance of the link in relation to the subject and what the subject is about. Again, it is just ONE MORE link!
