Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from. Please be careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Auroranorth 13:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Sandbox for test edits.  Auroranorth 13:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm curious as to what content was "removed" or "deleted". I checked out the edits to these two articles and this editor added (and subsequently modified) external links that arguably improved the article.  No content was removed, although the links have since been challenged as link spam. MrDarwin 00:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Please stop
Could you please stop adding external links for the moment and join in on a discussion that has been opened on WT:WPSPAM (click here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam). It may very well be that the links you are adding are appropriate, but the way you are adding them is in conflict with our guidelines on conflict of interest, spam, and possibly external links. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Spamming of http://spam.aaa.si.edu
You have been from editing Wikipedia for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. --Hu12 14:53, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may place unblock on your user talk page to have the block reviewed. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. --Hu12 02:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Did anybody actually look at this user's edits? Is it the general practice to block new editors just 7 minutes after their first warning?  Please keep in mind the Wikipedia policies of Assume Good Faith and  Please don't bite the newcomers. MrDarwin 00:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi! Wanted to let you know that it is possible to appeal a block in Wikipedia. You can do so by typing here on your talk page, which you can still edit while blocked. See Appealing a block for more information. Some editors have questioned whether a block is appropriate in your situation, so would like to let you know that this avenue exists. Best, --Shirahadasha 01:51, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi! After further review of your edits, I have unblocked you. However, because there is still considerable question about the appropriateness of both your userid name and your edits given your relationship to the AAA (See Special purpose accounts), I would appreciate it if you would voluntarily not add further links to Smithsonian Instutition AAA materials until this matter has been clarified. Feel free to comment on here and explain the nature of your account and edits. If another administrator disagrees with my unblocking, I will not interfere further. Best, --Shirahadasha 02:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Wanted to let you know that after further review, another editor has restored the links that you had previously added and which had been deleted. There appears to have been something of a misunderstanding. Best, --Shirahadasha 22:57, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I endorse unblock and also the request not to add new links without consultation with other editors. There is a policy on adding external links, which we discourage, especially when they are added en masse.  That said, we appreciate interaction with major institutions and recognise that they can make a valuable contribution. There is a conflict of interest aspect here, so that is why it is important that neutral editors are involved. A standard procedure here is to suggest the link on an article talk page (click "discussion" tab at the top of the article and post new material at the bottom of the talk page).  Another approach is to add content to the article and use the link as a reference. If in doubt, you are welcome to ask! See guide to referencing below. Tyrenius 13:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
