IrishGuy, you sad little man. |

There are thousands of articles on Wikipedia whose external links include fansites. I'm not going to cite examples, because then sad, power-hungry individuals like yourself would indiscriminately blast them all. It's unfortunate that you have decided to single out an article about a B-movie most people have never heard of to abuse your authority. ManiacCopFans.com was begun by a friend and I to raise awareness of the movie. We have the blessing and support of Bill Lustig (director), Larry Cohen (writer), Robert Z'Dar, and Bruce Campbell. Yet, you seem to believe that this link violates a vague and subjective rule which is almost never enforced. The term "spam" denotes unsolicited marketing, not a link to a fansite. We make exactly zero dollars from the website, and it's only intended as a place for people to gather and discuss the films. How can you ignore links to "official" movie sites (which are clearly commercial) and instead focus on ours? People like you are ruining Wikipedia. |

Is ManiacCopFans.com not releated to Maniac Cop?
And if not, how so? Seems like an appropriate and relevant link for the article, especially considering it's the only site about Maniac Cop out there aside from the IMDB entry. No need to take your little "job" so seriously. Get over yourself. Max85 20:30, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
- No matter how many accounts you use to spam this fansite into article, it will be reverted. Read WP:SPAM and WP:EL. IrishGuy talk 20:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm only using one account. There's no need for me to make multiple accounts. Good observation though. Check the IP address. Oltrelamorte 20:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Asking others to edit on your behalf is a violation of WP:SOCK. IrishGuy talk 20:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
I didn't ask anyone to edit on my behalf. I've been singled out here because I've seen numerous other fansites allowed to be placed in the Wikipedia External Links section. One being a Danielle Harris fansite on her page. Oltrelamorte 20:49, 29 August 2007 (UTC)oltrelamorte
- Really? Your message forum says otherwise. Should you continue to violate WP:SOCK you will be blocked. IrishGuy talk 20:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Nope. Still didn't see where I asked anyone to edit anything. There's a difference between asking someone to do something & informing someone about something. I commend you & your detective skills though. Oltrelamorte 20:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)oltrelamorte
- So you complain about your personal inability to edit and others tell you they will edit in your stead. Then they do. But that somehow isn't sockpuppetry? If you don't want to get blocked, they had better stop. IrishGuy talk 20:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm not even one of the people who runs the site, so I'm not "spamming" anything of mine. I just post on the forum. I added the link because it is a relevant link for an article about Maniac Cop. Max85 21:02, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
