Dear Godo Dodo

Thank you for all your help. I will take your advice and will stop my work for Ilovethebeach.com and will start working on some other project. If there are any new reliable sources please feel free to see me. Take care

Friendly question

Hi GD - just wondering why this block was necessary after only 2 edits? Is there a long term abuse pattern with this website that I'm missing? Also - popups is showing the account is both blocked and locked, something I've never seen before... do you know what that is? Thanks  7  07:24, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I blocked Janicejohnson11 because I ran across two other accounts that were spamming the same thing or similar things: Janicejohnson1 and Liposuctionbeverlyhills. The random first name, lower case last name, with a number and no spaces is a pattern that I've noticed lately with the spammers. Like Scotkaiser95, Stellamercer 9, and Joannawinston919. They do the whole SEO link thing on their talk page right after account creation and make zero other edits.

As for the LOCKED thing, that would be a global lock in lieu of being globally blocked. See here, too. And the log entry on meta. The domain that were spamming got globally blacklisted, too. So the spammer got noticed by somebody else, too. They also made a mistake and edited while logged out, 202.53.74.2 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:55, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Got it - thanks.  7  09:35, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

No problem. The locked thing confused me when I first saw it, too. I was like "Locked? I didn't lock them out of anything." I had to read the source code to figure out what it meant and even then I was confused. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:11, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

External Link Deleted

Hello, I'm new to the author side of Wikipedia and I attempted to add an external link to the Wiki page for the game Darkspore. I'm the author of a video game review blog that was created with the sole purpose of providing 'gamers' with information I've collected through playing a particular game. In short, I like to think of my reviews first and foremost as a resource for others to use in order to learn more about a game before they decide whether or not to buy it for themselves. I believe my edit was promptly deleted on the grounds that it was made purely in the spirit of self-promotion, which is certainly not the case as my identity remains on anonymous on my blog as well as on Wikipedia. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to clear up the matter or if my personal resource just isn't acceptable. Thank you very much.

Understandable. Thanks for clearing things up! KodiakNightLight (talk) 15:48, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

What can I do next?

Hi GD,

I noticed you have deleted a Page I created for TodaysDraw.com. I have reviewed the Wikipedia policies and I do realize that I was in violation. I was not trying to promote the website but trying to create a buisness page since a lot of our subscribers want simple facts about us.

I have two requests:

1. Can you guied me about how I can go about creating a business page. Just to clarify, I have put a request for an article creation by editors.

2. When people search for todaysdraw, the deleted, Wikipedia page is coming up. That is bad for us. Can I redirect the page or request for a userfication?

Please advise. Am really interested in creating a positive experience here at Wikipedia and do not want to violate any policies, while providing information baout TodaysDraw.com

Thanks.

Please Restore and Userfy TodaysDraw.com

Hi GD,

Thanks for your response. Have noted ur feedbaack.

Please do restore and userfy the article. I understand that there will be no redirects. As long as we don't feature on a Google search/Deleted Wikipedia Page, we are good. Meanwhile, I will review the Business Page policies and only then consider creating a Business Page.

Thank you.
