I strongly suggest, seen these edits, where you ignore

WP:NOT#DIRECTORY, and other discussions above, that you sit back, read our Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and then reconsider your edits. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

Request reason:

I don't understand what is wrong with including a company's web site on the Greek Companies List. Wiki is full of articles with links to companies, why is this list being targeted?

Decline reason:

Lists are supposed to be lists, not a directory, or a list of items that is advertising in nature. There are indeed other lists, and I have also cleaned other lists of external links, per

this). I am declining the unblock on this request, I strongly suggest you read some policies and guidelines first. Also because there are items above of similar nature. Please start discussing. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

I don't mean to "advertise" as I don't work for a Greek company at all. I just love my homeland of Greece and I saw that there is a list of Greek companies here on Wiki and I wanted to contribute to it. I will continue to contribute to it if that's ok but I won't add the website of the companies that I add.

It is not that you are advertising, but the list does not comply with

WP:NOT#DIRECTORY, and is as such advertising. Most of those links are perfectly OK on the wikipage about the seperate companies (and there is where they are supposed to be). --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 12:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

I have lifted your block, assuming that when other editors have concerns with certain pages or edits, that you will first engage in a discussion with them, in stead of pushing or re-adding the info without discussion. Happy editing. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 13:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dirk Beetstra, thanks for your constructive criticisms about my wiki editing. Cheers, FC Freecyprus

Since you seemed to have missed this:

Reality check

here

:

Wikipedia is neither a mirror nor a repository of links, images, or media files. Wikipedia articles are not:

1) Mere collections of external links or Internet directories. There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:External links for some guidelines.

2) Mere collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists to assist with the organisation of articles. Please follow the guidelines outlined at Wikipedia:Lists#List naming and list contents.

What you've done is create a link farm of companies which do not show the slightest sign of being eligible for articles. In fact, I recognized one as one which has been speedily deleted multiple times after being created by yourself, and my guess is that if I start clicking around the few blue links I'll find even more speedy-deletion candidates. And I suspect that the new ones you gin up will have exactly the same problems.

And yes, I HAVE discussed this and cited the actual rules; you, on the other hand, have waved your hands frantically as a substitute for actual arguments and in your zeal to convert a navigation aid into a nationalist's cheap substitute for the

Hey take it easy. Have a beer and relax. There are more important things in life to worry about. Cheers, FC. Freecyprus 01:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh huh. You first, Mr. Edit-Warrior. Whether I happen to choose this bit of spam-fighting isn't of your concern. Oh wait, it is -- which is why your faux-concern will receive the attention it is due.

I've already filed a report at

WP:AN/3RR, so you might have some time to relax yourself. --Calton | Talk 01:55, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

Oh dear, did I touch a nerve? It didn't take long for that veneer of faux-concern to fall away, did it? A read of

this and this might prove informative. --Calton | Talk 02:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply

Nope, it's not really easy to "touch" any of my nerves. Name calling and bullying never seemed to work with Greeks all these 8,000+ years and probably won't work with me.  :-) I have my opinions and my responses to your comments and I expressed them. It's obvious to all you would like to frighten folks into not saying anything but that usually doesn't work in the free world. Freecyprus

Name calling and bullying never seemed to work with Greeks all these 8,000+ years and probably won't work with me - And yet you feel free to indulge in it yourself: is this a form of Greek exceptionalism, or simply universal jerkitude on your part? --Calton | Talk 11:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and your attempt to play the racism card is pretty much beneath contempt. --Calton | Talk 21:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch, REALLY touched a nerve there. The problem is that you yourself haven't read Wikipedia's rules about personal attacks (or you have and don't feel these rules apply to you, only to others) We are all trying to make Wiki a friendly and welcoming place. You are not. Anyone can read the comments on your user page. I repeat: countless users have complained about your rudeness and lack of civility. All of your comments are there for all to read, now and forever. You are a bully, pure and simple. We will all continue to make Wikipedia a welcoming place, whether you like it or not. Freecyprus 21:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Again, more from the "I'm rubber , you're glue" school of rhetoric: the term for that is psychological projection. Have a read, you may learn something about yourself.

As for touching a nerve; yes, when a dishonest fanatic calls me a racist, you, I tend to be annoyed. And given your outbursts and edit-warring, you're not exactly in a position to be giving out advice about civility or bullying.

We will all continue to make Wikipedia a welcoming place... We? Is there a vast community of provincialist edit-warriors who've confused Wikipedia with the

Yellow Pages

that I've somehow missed?

The problem is that you yourself haven't read Wikipedia's rules about personal attacks (or you have and don't feel these rules apply to you, only to others) - Speaking of projection, again. You've been pointed to the rules, you've been blocked -- twice in two days -- for violating the rules, and you have the chutzpah to gas on about how I haven't read the rules? Or is it that you have and don't feel these rules apply to you, only to others? --Calton | Talk 10:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We can only repeat what we've all been telling you: relax, take it easy, don't be so rude, try to be civil, learn to not belittle people, try to learn how to make Wikipedia a kind and welcoming place. Cheers, FC. Freecyprus 10:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to ignore our policies by introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. IrishGuy ^talk 10:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At SQL_Server_Integration_Services you replaced a list "...x or y or z" with "either x or y or z"; I replaced that, in turn, with "x, y, or z". We use "either" when there are only two cases. If you need to be explicit you can use "any of x, y, or z". (This was in regards to use of variables.) Pete St.John 19:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
