Revision as of 20:53, 21 February 2014
This is the talkpage of XLinkBot (formerly SquelchBot), a bot designed to revert spamming, or other edits that introduce external links which do not comply with our external links guideline, or with the policy 'What wikipedia is not' (not a repository of links section).
If your additions were reverted by XLinkBot, please take time to review our external links & spam guidelines, and take note that Wikipedia is not a repository of links, a directory, nor a place to promote your own work. If you feel your addition was within those policies and guidelines and are Reliable and Verifiable, and do not violate Copyright, you may undo the changes made by XLinkBot. Questions are welcome, however this talk page is for civil discussion and is not a complaints department. |

neutralising the url that the bot adds
I would like to neutralise the link that XlinkBot adds as part of its reversion message so that it is not an active link. One so that they don't get the value of a link to their site, and 2) to stop the link showing up on the bots internal reports, which is a little irritation when you do a linksearch check. I was thinking that we could wrap $link inside <nowiki>$link</nowiki>
. Can anyone envisage an issue with that? — billinghurst sDrewth 05:37, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, the link is there so it gets found - you can find spammers easily now by the Special:LinkSearch. And I don't think they get any value from the link on the talkpage - no-one will be looking for their talkpage and it is no-indexed anyway. If there are so many talkpages that have the link that it gets annoying, then maybe it is time to blacklist, and if it is with regards to facebook, no sane person would use the special:linksearch to find a specific facebook .. --Dirk Beetstra T C 06:47, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Bees Algorithm webpage
Hi Dirk,
thanks for explaining. I have still not clear whether there is any conflict of interest in what I published in the linked website and in the Wikipedia page. They were both (web site and Wikipedia page) written to disseminate scientific knowledge, and the website contains also some software (C++ and Matlab code) which is freely distributed for scientific purposes. I cited some of my work, in a way that I think should conform with the standards of what is considered 'reasonable' according to Wikipedia guidelines. I have also noticed that other Wikipedia pages about Swarm intelligence Algorithms (Ant Colony Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization, Artificial Bee Colony) contain links to websites dedicated to the algorithm described. The only conflict I can think of is that I have written about something that is part of my research interests. If this is not acceptable, please let me know. Finally, I apologise for nagging you about this point, but it was my very first contribution to Wikipedia, and since I am planning to contribute again on scientific subjects of my interest, I would like to have things very clear.
Thanks

- You are the maintainer/creator/administrator of the page, even if the information is neutral, free, etc., you are involved in the subject. It does not forbid you to edit, but suggests that you are somewhat careful editing such pages. --Dirk Beetstra T C 04:54, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Re: Jean Amery
I tried to fix a dead link to a published biographical essay on Jean Amery, which was originally published in "Holocaust Literature: An Encyclopedia of Writers and Their Work," ed. S. Lillian Kremer (New York: Routledge, 2002). I am the author of this essay and hold the copyright. The essay is reprinted as a page--not a blog posting--at my blogpost site. The mere fact that it is associated with a blog should not disqualify it, especially since the original appeared in an authoritative print version. Thanks.

- I see you've done what XLinkBot suggests for the exceptions - you've reverted the bot. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:33, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Massive reversion at Savart wheel
I have undone a massive reversion by this bot [1], presumably triggered by an external link to a youtube video [2] that seems to have been legally uploaded by its maker [3], as duly credited on the page: see Savart wheel#External links. Regards, 86.173.146.3 (talk) 20:37, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
