'Spamming' is whatever Wikipedia decides it happens to be, like 'Fennec' so helpfully pointed out - check. David Gerard 22:43, (UTC) Wikipedia is not a web directory, yet most pages have a 'Relevant links' section with outside links - check. If you put a link to your own site, it'll likely get blanked as vanity-posting at best and spamming at worst. If they don't, you may have to cope with the fact that it isn't. If your site is really of encyclopaedic levels of relevance, someone else will put it on the articles. Would that be 'barely relevent' enough for you? Putting links to one's own site at all is looked at askance, in accordance with the principles outlined at Wikipedia:Auto-biography it's really not the done thing at all. OK then restore my edit to the TextPad page (minus the link) and leave my link on the Text editor topic. Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 22:22, (UTC) 'Barely relevant'? Are you kidding me? What if it is my 'personal site'? Jeez. You put a lot of links to your personal site on lots of barely-relevant articles, and you don't think this is spamming? - David Gerard 22:16, (UTC) Spamming need not imply financial gain, direct or indirect. Given that you've essentially abused your all-mighty 'editor powers' I'd like you to explain your rationale for removing my edits (and banning me) or stop trying to play god. You do realize that developers read these pages? Could it be that a listing of almost 400 code editing-related tools might be on topic for these editor articles? Or are you offended by the fact that most of them are intended for Windows developers? Or maybe you're just uncomfortable because of my relationship with Microsoft?

Maybe you found some sort of advertising for an editor product there?ĭid you even bother to visit the link? Do you know what it contains? I posted it because I think it is a useful resource for Windows developers. Perhaps you'd be so kind as to point out the ads or pop-ups on my web site. I'd like you to explain just what exactly I'm gaining by posting that link. Now, 'spamming' entails some sort of gain. What exactly about that edit offended you again? I only edited the 'Related links' section except in the case of this TextPad article, which I actually filled out with (what I think) was relevant information and removed the stub notice. What I posted was a link to a page on my website where I have a listing of most known code editors for Windows of all types. You then proceeded to ban my IP for two days. Your explanation was that I was 'spamming'. Two days ago you reverted four edits I made to the Emacs, XEmacs, vim and TextPad pages (all in the editors category). 8 Is lack of Unicode support a criticism?.5 Re: Edit war - a bit of clarification.
