Why are there so many of these? What drives spammers to make articles like these? I just don't get it....if anyone has any theories as to what the point of making these spam articles is, I'd love to hear them. Zell65 (talk) 08:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

It's really pretty simple. They know Wikipedia has extremely broad coverage and don't really understand the difference between Wikipedia and free-for-all websites like Myspace. So they post ads. If you've been around, you'll realize that very, very few companies are persistent: they mostly try once and then give up. Mangojuicetalk 15:39, 17 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

There is a cross-wiki discussion in progress as to whether c: should be enabled globally as an interwiki prefix for links to the Wikimedia Commons. If the proposal gains consensus this will require the deletion or renaming of several pages on the English WIkipedia whose titles begin with "C:", including one or more redirects to this page. Please take a moment to participate in the discussion.
There is also a related discussion on the English Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 February 16#C:ATT to which you are invited to contribute.
