AIMC Listing

I am new to Wikipedia, and hope I am communicating this to you properly through the correct venue, in the correct manner.

Just to continue our previous conversation, I was unaware of the limitations to listing a site in Wikipedia. I listed our site on pages that are relevant to our members, and on pages practioners who would be interested in our networking opportunities would visit.

As I mentioned, the AIMC is an association of internal consulting groups, identical in purpose and activity to the AMCF (Association of Management Consulting Firms)which is listed on the page. However, we do not have the same profit and sales motive. As opposed to the AMCF, we are not advertising for profit member consulting firms.

We provide person-to-person networking services. Our members are corporate and not-for-profit employees who provide organizational development, process improvement, and training and development consulting services within a corporation, and who are faced the day-to-day challenge of staying up-to-date with best practices in the feild to maintain thier careers. We provide a low cost venue for networking with others in their field help develop best services possible (as opposed to hiring a for profit management consulting firm to buy the skills). We also provide certification in internal management consulting and are developing our site to disseminate information important to internal management consulting practitioners. We are staffed solely by volunteers interested in facilitating this networking.

Furthermore, we provide additional resources to those responding to the internal management consulting section on the management consulting page.

I would appreciate being listed on the page: The Association of Internal Management Consultants, www.aimc.org.

Again, I apologize for what appreared to be spam. Spam includes a questionable intention, and I did not intend to create any mischief or advertise something by taking advantage of the pages' links.

Thank you for your consideration.

spanish group films deletion

That is crap. You have to understand that to them, it's not about money. Its about getting recognized for what they do. You clearly do not understand what it is like to do work and not have them be appreciated. You just shoot down people's hopes and dreams. You just get people upset. Not all people are the same. Understand that your comments have a lasting impression on some people, and that you probably do this only because you have no talent to do anything else. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Justfor52 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

i am calm, you moron. this is absurd, some of the things that get deleted. this should be about promoting the public's talent so that they can get recognized and maybe, just maybe, gain confidence for what they enjoy doing. But it's people like you that ruin that dream. Please explain to me what is so wrong about promoting something that exists that is made only for other's enjoyment. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Justfor52 (talk • contribs) 19:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable Software - why?

Hi Dan, I just started an article about an open source software CMS BIGACE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIGACE. It seems to me as if you categorized it as "Non-notable software".

I do not see a reason for that. If you have a look on the posted links, you might see, that it is used and well documented. The Author works on it for couple of years now, and I do not think you it should be deleted only because it is not that large as other Open-Source CMS are.

Please let me know why you do not like it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.173.150.163 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Clusty

Regarding your removal of Clusty dynamic TagCloud external link from Tag cloud page. I think if you investigate it you will see that it is a very important milestone. Tag clouds in the past were static, Clusty.com offers a dynamic version. Just look into it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.121.48.34 (talk • contribs) 03:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


hey dan

Hey Dan. I wanted to ask you to let me recover the links that I’ve posted before. I don’t see any reasons for you to block it. If you read some of the material that is provided on www.Pmemory.com you will understand that all of the information is very valuable. I mean it cannot be compared even close to other links or articles about memory. I would love to answer to all of your questions and concerns. I must admit that the website is commercial but the only thing you should pay is the Memory Course. The rest of the information is 100% free. I haven’t tried to sell anything; my links were pointed to the specific and appropriate information.

Thanks you. You can also contact me at [email protected] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alex dubas (talk • contribs) 05:50, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

EL's in Cascading Style Sheets

FYI, I've done a major cleanup. -- Regards, Moondyne 15:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


hi there

You recently asked me to stop adding links to 'startup company' and 'business plan' entries. I think that you are being unnecessarily harsh. Here's why: while it's true that I am in business, my web site is designed to be a mine of information and links in the service of entrepreneurs - and entirely free to the user. I am a veteran entrepreneur with a lot to offer the budding entrpreneur. If you take a look at the web site, it is about 95% is pure information and guidance. That is the way it is designed as a service. It is only in cases where someone is actively seeking assistance that they would contact me. I have made many additions to wikis in my field, absolutely in the spirit of the beast. I have many authorities in the field offering compliments on the WorkSavvy website and from feedback I know that it provides a genuine service Indeed if you take the view about it that you do, I think that there are many others that should be asked to stand down also. But this would probably be in detriment to those people who are actually seeking information on this very important business subject. Therefore I would ask you to (a) take another look at the content of www.worksavvy.ws and (b) reconsider your request. I'd be delighted to discuss this further with you, should you wish. My email address is [e-mail address removed -AbsolutDan] with best wishes —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wgpkeyser (talk • contribs) 18:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Barnstar

To AbsolutDan for his tireless battle against the scourge of linkspam and excessive external links. -- Moondyne 02:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dan, Here's a little something (it's not much I know) for all your hard and thankless work. I see that you're getting hammered by the whingers who don't or won't understand policy so I wanted to make sure that you know you're not alone in the battle. Keep up the good work. Regards -- Moondyne 02:53, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

how is that inapropriate

Dan, how is the link to noslang.com on internet slang inappropriate?

The link I added is the #3 link in Google for that term.

It's the same style site as acronym finder and urban dictionary, FOLDOC, and the AOL sitewhich are also listed. In fact, it contains a lot more terms and information than those sites. It's even got a book published about Internet slang.

Clearly this site is an authority on internet slang, and if any of those sites deserve to be there, so does this one.

How can you justify that this site isn't a relevant link?

It was listed there (not by me) many months ago but was removed (presumably by you).

I just put it back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.38.82.66 (talk • contribs) 19:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

re- zarra,valencia

hi dan. First off,thanks for reading what I tried to add,the truth is I don't quite fully understand how the system works therfore I seem to be making a mess of it. I live in the village and only wanted to add something about it to let other people know that there is more to zarra than just,with full respects,a dead spanish footballer. I don't know how to "wikify" the article. Could you please advise. thanks very much keith (zarra) buchanan [email protected] --Zarra 23:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dan

Dan...

In your opinion, what makes a site reliable?

I get no benefit what so ever by adding that URL to the page. There's no ads on that page I added, so i have no motivation to do it.

The site published a freaking non-fiction book related to the topic. How more "reliable" can you get?

Ooh.. ban me. Scary. I've edited tons of other articles (with different ips) to add non-links. You ban me, you lose that too.

If you don't want that site, fine. However I will assure you that I or somebody else will remove ALL external links from that article every day. I will have people checking it morning noon and night and removing all links to external sites.

What's fair is fair. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.38.82.66 (talk • contribs) 13:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

listing

What is the problem with listing open source guides for P2PTV ? The person from NZ lists only commercial software - scvi.net lists Open Source software. The NZ site also has google advertising.


What is the problem with listing the website as a resource for Nullsoft Video ? scvi.net is the un-official information resource as acknowledged by AOL / Time warner inc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sankt (talk • contribs) 15:42, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Dear AbsolutDan, How do you think the others learned of the contributors in the book. The hot links do come straight back to the wikipedia. Also, the current article is up for deletion so how are folks going to know about the book, and/or learn about the contributors? People trying to Recover from the NRM/Cult/Sect experience have an awful time finding resources, this book is by far the most valuable and the page is solely dedicated to this book/its contents. Blocking information is not the way to go. Regards TalkAbout 19:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AbsolutDan,
I removed some links and cleaned it up. Can I now remove your tag?:) As to the BOOK...I think thank you for resolving that one. PEACETalkAbout 21:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
AbsolutDan,
I reduced the ones I entered the others belief it or not are all links to the Sect/Cult/NRM and Sub Sects, etc just so not to get all mixed up. It is a like a new language thing. The others are just valid. I will go and reduce some more if I can. I checked and other articles have just as many but not organised. Due to all the Hindi/groups it was necessary. ThanksTalkAbout 23:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be so kind and remove this link

  1. * Edited *

Thank you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sankt (talk • contribs) 00:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


There should not be a problems explaining the removal of links that are considered "spam" as requested by the content owner. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sankt (talk • contribs) 04:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
The removal of spam requires no explanation. You are doing your required task as directed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sankt (talk • contribs) 16:33, 22 October 2006 (UTC)


Please remove this link within the wikipedia directory, as it should be considered spam and dealt with accordingly.

Waf and notability

Hi, I don't think there's any serious problem with its notability, not any more than with SCons anyway, or any other build system. I created the page precisely because the software is little known (as it's rather young), and hardly googlable, yet being used by KDE as the designed build system automatically places it in the "rather important" category. I find "who, where, how" pages for relatively obscure software to be of great value, as it's often the only sensible resource, so if you don't have any concrete objections I could fix, I will remove the tag shortly. mathrick 16:56, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uhh, exactly how is app's homepage not a reliable source? I think the existence of something a very convincing evidence that it does indeed exist, and Waf exists. What I included is just general info on the app, plus a little bit of history that can be easily googled once you know what to look for, none of this is non-verifiable or disputable. mathrick 17:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, it's getting ridiculous now. Can you please elaborate on why exactly you think SCons is not notable enough to be described in Wikipedia? Hint: the fact you don't know about it is not enough. It's rather well-known and used software, well-deserving a mention. Or do you perhaps think that WP should not describe software at all? mathrick 17:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello
