Lately, Willisis has gotten severely addicted to Wikipedia, and he tries to stay away from editing to focus on more important things in life. As a result, he may not respond swiftly to messages, and may not finish certain jobs. But who knows if he can resist the temptation...

New page patrol. Whew. Sometimes I think I must be a masochist. Movingboxes (talk) 16:18, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you want to get points on that website, but I'm afraid advertising isn't permitted on Wikipedia per WP:EL#ADV. There are plenty of free forums online you can join and place requests such as this, but here we try and focus on article content and administrative areas, rather than treating the site as a discussion forum or MySpace. Cheers! —Cyclonenim | Chat  15:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I always understood it as I have to work for the company, not just have a username. Anyway, if you think it should be removed, is there anyway I can make it more subtle so that it complies or can you give me links to those forums? Thanks. Ŵïllî§ï$2? (^Talk!/_Sign) 15:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Being part of the company would potentially mean you have a conflict of interest, but it doesn't mean that if you aren't an employee that you can place links to advertise other sites. These links aren't allowed, unfortunately, and you'll have to remove them. As for forums, just join any that you have an interest in (music boards, for example) and I doubt they'll have any issue with you placing that banner in your signature. If you could remove the banners from Wikipedia, that'd be great. Thanks :) —Cyclonenim | Chat  16:44, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I removed the banners Ŵïllî§ï$2? (^Talk!/_Sign) 16:51, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Please also remove the external link from your signature; as this is not permitted (Wikipedia:SIG#External links). I have also rolled back all your recent edits to guestbooks which included this external link. Feel free to re-sign the guestbooks without the external link in your signature. –xeno (talk) 20:26, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Man Wiki is different since eight months ago (When I temporarily left). Ŵïllî§ï$2? (Talk!/Sign) 21:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, those policies have existed for years. It's more likely that you never got picked up on it, but it happens to everyone once in a while. Impossible to know everything. —Cyclonenim | Chat  23:08, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I just forgot. I used to have so many codes memorized but now I'm struggling. db:*can't remember!* Ŵïllî§ï$2? (Talk!/Sign) 23:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I was remiss in drawing your attention to the thread at AN regarding this. It's resolved - but it's a courtesy to advise you of it. –xeno (talk) 23:50, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, sorry I should have posted here also. Anyway the matter is entirely resolved. Have fun editing. —Cyclonenim | Chat  10:53, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I signed up after I followed the link on your guest page. — Balthazar ^(T|C) 22:04, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did you have some reason for reverting me when I just clearly added OTRS permissions to the article (in three different places)? BJ^Talk 15:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I've seen people spam like that before, where they put it up falsely. Yours does check out though, my bad. Ŵïllî§ï$2? (Talk!/Sign) 15:25, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature is messing up. Instead of:

'''[[User:Willisis2|<span style="color: #F88017;">Ŵïllî§ï$2?</span>]]''''' (^{'''''[[User talk:Willisis2|<font color="green">Talk!</font>]]'''''}/_{'''''[[User:Willisis2/guest|<font color="maroon"><b>Sign</b></font>]]'''''})

Use:

'''[[User:Willisis2|<span style="color: #F88017;">Ŵïllî§ï$2?</span>]]''''' (^{'''''[[User talk:Willisis2|<font color="green">Talk!</font>]]'''''}/_{'''''[[User:Willisis2/guest|<font color="maroon"><b>Sign</b></font>]]'''})

The </sub> tag at the end is messing up because of the extra ''s before it. MathCool10 ^{Sign here!} 19:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I thought I fixed that last summer, but I guess not. Ŵïllî§ï$2? (Talk!/Sign) 19:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know about the error - I have crossed out the warnings from the user's talk page and would restore the edit but the user seems to have already done that! - Fastily (talk) 03:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed that you have a guestbook -- the problem is that your guestbook promotes a referral link, which is not what Wikipedia is supposed to be used for. Would you remind removing the link? Thanks. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 12:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also note that you merely redirected Rachel Holden, when it still contains a copyvio in the history. It is improper to merely redirect it, it must be deleted and then redirected. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 12:18, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info about the redirects. I'm a little confused as to why you can't hold a copy of a page on another, but policy is policy. As for the external linking issue, it was resolved here. Thanks. --Ŵïllî§ï$2? (Talk!/Sign) 23:33, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why you can't host a copy of one page like that is because the GFDL requires attribution, and a straight copy from one page to another does not copy across the history for attribution. As for the AN posting, I differ in opinion with Xeno, and still believe that the link should be removed (I don't believe that the matter is resolved). Wikipedia is not for promotion, whether it be spam, or referral links, it goes against what Wikipedia is to be used for. I don't want to, but if I have to, I will bring it up at WP:AN for further discussion, because I believe that the inclusion of the links is not correct practise. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 00:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for finding a dead link to my contributions. However I myself cn't find it. It redirects to User:World/contributions. Please help me find the dead link, thanks World (talk • contributions) 14:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
