External linking[edit]

Hi. I suggest you try to justify on Talk:Sheet music why you continue to add this link to the article in spite of several other established editors reverting you. Edit warring is discouraged here; if you restore your link more than 3 times in a 24 hour period, your account will be blocked. Please use the article talk page to resolve a dispute. Also, your edit history suggests that you have a conflict of interest regarding this link. If you are associated with this link, you should not be adding it, but rather suggest it on the talk page and let the community decide. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:05, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ! Thank you for your participation. I’m really disappointed with behaviour of one of the editors. I don’t know who exactly remove my links from 2 pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_music http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano but it’s really disappointing. I can’t find nothing about it on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sheet_music

Free Sheet Piano Music is a free, unique(!), noncommercial resource. I don’t want to have a battle with editors that representing sites on Wikipedia, I’m just thinking that a free resources with unique and popular content have rights to be added in right places. I didn’t made errors with editing, adding or appropriate placing. And I didn’t make rules violation. If someone has a problem with content added by me – he can contact me. If someone delete the link – I’m expecting a comment. One more time “Free Sheet Piano Music” is a free non commercial resource with unique content. Hope you can help me to claim this settlement. Thank you very much.

The problem is one of scale -- there are MANY free sheet music sites out there, but per WP:EL we have to limit the number of links. Sites like IMSLP and CPDL are extensive collections, dedicated to the same principles that WP is. We just can't add your site any more than we can add every Elvis fansite out there. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 15:33, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you want comments, just look at the edit history of the article. Each person who has removed your link has explained why, in the edit summary. Editors don't leave comments on article talk pages when removing what they consider to be inappropriate links. The submitter of the link is the person who should propose it on the talk page. Please read carefully our guidelines Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:External links.

While I like that site you linked, I must agree that link violates the Wikipedia:External links guidelines because it doesn't adequately enhance the content of the article. There are far more comprehensive collections of sheet music available, and Wikipedia is not a collection of links. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ou! If you still not make attention, I was talking about UNIQUE ressource. And maybe you can give me anothe one site listed here that consacred to "easy-version"(!) for the adults-beginners??? And I'm sorry but there is no violation of guidelines, and it fits the article very well.

It does violate the guidelines. It violates WP:EL in that it doesn't enhance the article over other links, and it violates WP:COI because it's your link. You don't get to pick and choose the parts of the guidelines you like. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:51, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

3RR[edit]

Please refrain from repeatedly undoing other people's edits, as you are doing in sheet music. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The three-revert rule (3RR) prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, please discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:51, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

December 2008[edit]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Piano. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Username[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: it spells "A nigger" backwards. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. -kotra (talk) 19:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Piss off!!! Check this:

Thanks for offering an explanation, although telling me to "piss off" is probably not the best way to do it. Would you be willing to put on your user page something that says that you're named after the football club, or that you're a fan of them? That way other people like me won't give you a hard time for your user name. -kotra (talk) 18:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think "piss off" is quite justified here. Complaining about phonetic reversal of a legitimate username because someone might be offended when reading it backwards is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen on Wikipedia in a while. It's like those illiterates back in the 1990s who complained about a public official's use of the word "niggardly" without bothering to figure out the etymology or even look up the meaning, or like religious fundamentalists who play rock music backward to find unintentional backmasked messages to complain about. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:56, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Piss off!!!" isn't really ever justified on Wikipedia due to our Civility policy. But I wasn't bothered, so I won't press it. Concerning the username, I don't doubt Reggina's explanation (my original comment was to ask for clarification, not to censure). My concern is that other users will, like me, incorrectly interpret it. Believe it or not, usernames that intentionally use backwards expletives have been blocked for that reason alone before: 1,2. I'm not saying it's intentional in this case, I just think it'd be wise to head off others thinking that, by explaining a little on the userpage. Even something like "I am a fan of Reggina Calcio" would do it. -kotra (talk) 01:00, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
