Hi John,
We've been having a big spammer and spam bot problem, and you've been posting commercial links... so I'm not sure of your intentions. But I want to clarify:
- Some of what you're posting is within our scope, and is very welcome here - e.g. about battery life. Thanks.
- Commercial links are not encouraged unless they are directly relevant and have useful general information. That may make editing here not of interest to you. But...
- Commercial links on user pages are likely to be allowed, but only for a user that is contributing useful info to the wiki in general.
- We have a number of active admins here who block spammers on site - you'll need to be careful about what you post to avoid that.
In any case, here's our standard welcome, below. --Chriswaterguy 08:23, 22 July 2011 (PDT)

Hi Johngraham,
Welcome to the Appropedia wiki. Please make yourself at home! If you need a general wiki-tutorial, see the main help page (or the more in-depth one on WikiEducator).
Check your preferences and be sure you verify your email address and turn on email notification if you'd like it -- you can find out when your talk page, or any page on your watchlist, is modified. You may want to upload a photo or information about yourself to your userpage (which is at User:Johngraham).
If you have a particular interest or project in mind, go ahead and start it! If you have questions or suggestions, the best place to leave them is at our community discussion page, which we call the Village pump - you should get a fast response. Or, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page if you have further questions, need help finding your way around, have a cool idea for a project, or just want to chat.
Glad to have you here!
