stanley, they don't like you cause you are a capitilist, see you need to be a socialist or commi scum for them. Money is the root of all evil to them, how good your site is does not matter if you are trying to make money with it!
Wikipedia spamming

I had the same problem with one of my sites...you have to suck up to the mod, apologize, and show them how your site is relevant. It worked for me but I doubt it will work all the time.
Does anyone know their policy if you actually write a wiki article (on a relevant red topic) and then link to your site...
I've found along the way numerous wikipedia articles I could fill in and may do so if they would allow my link to stay up? And also is it considered commercial to just have ads up? Even though I'm not selling anything on my site?

I've added 3 of them and none have been removed for over 5 months! The trick is do something that adds value to the page, correct grammar or add a relevant new paragraph or sentences. then add sites that are good resource sites that aren't yours, then add your link somewhere in there.
Also if it's a high traffic page, then forget it because there are edit nazis roaming all over it.
Just add value to the page, and you can sneak one in.

Good stuff. Another thing to keep in mind is that Wikipedia favors CONTENT so the more you link to Wikipedia Content pages that you wrote yourself which invariably link to your site (through differing sections), the better. We usually write REAL LONG and detailed articles and interlink them through category links within Wikipedia itself. Each page has subtle link outs to outside sites. The outside sites have a lot of content which then link out to the sales pages 
I usually have my writers and editors hold a meeting regarding an existing niche and decide on the following:
is there an FAQ for this topic?
are there subtopics that the wikipedia page doesn't discuss?
are the subtopics worthy of full pages in of themselves?
what related subtopics can the outside pages be a "reference" to?
what are the existing wikipedia categories for this page?
The we write the content, draw custom diagrams, commission custom illustrations, compose the page, edit it several times, then pop it on to wikipedia. Then category link it carefully.
The secret is in the linking WITHIN wikipedia itself since you CANNOT write a page "in isolation" -- it has to add support to something else.
Finally, as DruSam said, MAKE THE PAGE USEFUL. Would it be a REFERENCE you would use? Does it add value to what's available on this topic?
