Hello, I'm HickoryOughtShirt?4. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Burnaby Municipal Green Party have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:11, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Burnaby Municipal Green Party. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:14, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
