Talk:Bullworker

message: Still reads like an advertisement. The only external links are to sites selling this product,
in fact the person who posted this article, Frank Sherrill, is listed on the website that this article linked to (I've removed the links) as vice-president of product development.

thread_title: Reads like an advertisement

message: Mr. Sherrill: You asked for more information as to why I removed links to your site. The reasons can be found here:
*Links normally to be avoided
Specifically, items 3 and 4 which read as follows:
3. A page that you own or maintain, even if the guidelines above imply that it should be linked. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important and difficult objective at Wikipedia. If your page is relevant and informative, mention it on the talk page and let unbiased Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link.
5. Links intended to promote a site, especially if that site's primary purpose is to advertise or sell products or services, or if the site requires payment to view the relevant content. This is colloquially known as external link spamming.
And here:
*How not to be a spammer
Please read these Wikipedia guidlines very carefully, especially How not to be a spammer, and it should be clear as to why the links to your site were removed. They are in violation of Wikipedia standards.
I have a Bullworker X-5 and think it's a great piece of equipment! However, this is supposed to be an Encyclopedia, not a promotional vehicle. The links to your site quite clearly link to other pages on your site where the Bullworker can be purchased.
User Brian has already asked that you do not post advertising. I think you will find that articles such as the Bullworker article usually don't last too long. Countless editors will eventually find their way to the article and will likely view it as Promotional Material, SPAM or Advertisement. This is especially true due to the fact that you are the one who started the article and are very high up in the Bullworker company if not the CEO.

thread_title: To Mr. Sherrill concerning [[Spam]]

message: *Bully Extreme is not a Bullworker, has nothing to do with the name Bullworker and everytime any reference is made to a B-Extreme is the same as Chevrolet trying to switch you from a Ford.  Shameless promotion by ripping off a quality product.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Bullworker (talk • contribs) 
*I think that perhaps this comment may be a little too strong. I've looked at the Bully Extreme on the internet and think it is likely to be a very fine and high-quality product. Business people are always looking at older products and coming out with newer products in attempts to improve upon them. There is certainly nothing wrong with this. I don't think we should resort to making disrespectful comments about such products. It is worth noting however, that there have been persistent attempts to market the Bully Extreme within this article. This is against Wikipedia policy and innappropriate. To those who continue to make such attempts, please familiarize yourselves with Wikipedia policies. Continued attempts are quickly caught and addressed. You don't want to put yourselves at risk of being blocked from editing, or worse, banned. Additionally, please do not delete content within the article or on this talk page. This is considered vandalism according to Wikipedia policy. 69.69.250.37 16:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
