Hi Ripogenus77,
I just wanted to let you know my addition of "Nova Scotia Classifieds" site isn't commercial linkspam :) It is a 100% free classified ad site for the province and will always remain free for anyone to use. I pay for the site, maitenance, hosting etc out of my pocket and I don't even have so much as click through ads on it although I may post some banner ads from local business to help cover costs. That being said the site will always be a nonprofit online community for Nova Scotians. I added the link again, in hindsite I should have came here 1st but as a new member was unaware of this message posting option etc. I hope this is ok but if you have any concerns please let me know.
Thanks!
Noticed your deletionist contributions to the Chebeague Island page. Honestly, I don't understand what evidence one can link to when stating wildlife and nature on the island when the personal experience of me and my family living there is the source. Do we have to create a website first that says the same things so it can be linked to?
And the whole Nabisco / Chebeague event certainly seems like an important, encyclopedic commentary on the spirit of it's inhabitants, just as their recent (and successful) secession from Cumberland on the wiki is.
You deleted some of my additions saying they were not sourced, yet you left in obscure things I did not give a source to.
I do not wish to engage in any deletion / restoration wars. I do ask that you merely rewrite anything you find grammatically incorrect, nothing more. I didn't create a wiki account, search a random island in the united states, then spend a few hours writing lies about it. The purpose of Wiki is education on any given subject. Not to delete data for the sake of deleting data. -- JINZONINGEN 73 04:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for checking out the Fryburg Fair article and seeing that it was lifted from the page. I completely forgot about looking at it again. :) --- The Bethling (Talk) 23:53, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I completely understand that Wikipedia is not a link suppository, as I've been told twice now. In regards to my links being deleted: !!!!!!!!!!I AM NOT a multi level marketing link spammer!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I do not appreciate being labeled as such. I own and run a website about New Hampshire. I personally wrote about and photographed places in the state such as the Saco & Swift rivers, the Great North Woods and Lakes regions, and other things. In each page on Wiki, I placed an external link to the relevant page on my website. You are wrong in saying that the content I provide on my website doesn't "add" anything to the articles I linked from. I created the article "Rocky Gorge New Hampshire" for wikipedia, placed my link on the page, and it was deleted. If I can't have credit for an article that I created, then I will no longer contribute to wikipedia. It is "blatantly", as you put it, obvious that my contributions mean nothing anyway.

I know that you are mad at me. I am trying to go straight by putting legitimate information on my town's Wikipedia. I don't understand why when I do good and fair work on here, you always delete it. I understand it may seem like vandalism, but there really was a report of gangs roving the streets of Monson many times in the Piscatquis Observer. That's right I am informed. If you look at the paper from late August 06, you can clearly see the vandalism these gangs did to the town. The town's manager has even decried these acts. Call him. If this continues I am going to report you to wikipedia and the proper internet policia. I don't understand. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Thehutch86 ( talk • contribs) .
Hi, Ripogenus, I wonder if you can clarify something for me. The recent change you made to the Center Harbor, NH page included removing the italics from the external link to their "official website". I don't know the Wikipedia policy for italics, so I'm assuming that's correct. My concern is that every NH town (that has a website) has the same italics and wording for their official site. That's up to 220 pages that might need to be corrected. Any thoughts? Thanks! -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 00:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I removed the link because it looked like spam to me based on this. While the link is valid in Loring Air Force Base it does not seem so in the other articles. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 19:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Ripogenus77, when you have a moment could you revisit the talk page here...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sitesell
...so that we can discuss your deletion and my suggested amendment for this legitimate private company? There's some misunderstanding about the article's purpose and the company being profiled (i.e. that there's MLM/network marketing involved). (Edit: Just noticed that you did the same thing to this page...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Evoy
...rendering it an orphan at the same time.)
Looking forward to hearing from you so that we can discuss both entries. Thanks in advance! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maltiti ( talk • contribs) .
On October 7, 2006 you made edits to the article on Lake Winnipesaukee. You said you "removed commercial links." In doing this, you removed a link to Paintings of Lake Winnipesaukee. This link is not commercial, and my site for White Mountain Art is strickly educational and non-commercial. Please explain why you removed this link? It seems to me that before links are removed, you should examine the external site in some detail. JJ 19:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Rip. Just noticed your comment on Columbia, Maine, as I was there researching for a project, and I agree with your concerns and have postulated other concerns there. Indy ( talk) 20:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
