Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. [1] --Ronz 05:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Gtwfan52. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Freelancer.com seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. blogs are not a reliable source. Gtwfan52 (talk) 01:37, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
This is a reply for the IP editor @ the freelancer article:
- You seem to imply or have the mistaken idea that your fellow Wikipedia editors are in collusion with Freelancer.com and have plotted to keep negative information out of the article. You are mistaken. I have read the Freelancer User Agreement Section 8 (Avoiding Commissions), specifically sub-sections 8.1 (Prohibition on negotiation of fee outside of site) and 8.2 (E-mail) that you repeatedly make reference to. They are the normal and typical contractual agreements negotiated between contractor and subcontractor. The Commission section (8) deals with negotiating terms of payment outside the jurisdiction and control of freelancer. This is normal business procedure and need not be specified in the Freelancer article. More importantly, the two sections implicitly refer to fees, not to normal communication. Your mis-interpretation (or simple mis-reading) of the User Agreement cannot remain in the article. They misinform the reader which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. My impression is that you have had some negative dealings with Freelancer.com. Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia is not the place to resolve these issues. However, now that you have created a real account, you can move on to other envolvements...millions of possibilities. Just a word of advice---everyone you meet at Wikipedia is a collaborator. You may not like what they say or do, but they are not adversaries. ```Buster Seven Talk

Signing your communication
editYou have been asked on more than one occasion to sign your talk page edits. Before you do any more damage, I suggest you teach yourself some of the above. Read what it takes to be a Wikipedia Editor. This is to inform you that I will no longer read anything that is not signed. I do not talk to anonymous editors. ```Buster Seven Talk 08:19, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
- If you are forgetting to "Log In" then log in and go back and correct your mistake. Otherwise you are ignoring the most basic and important Editor courtesy. ```Buster Seven Talk 08:35, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
