Hello, I'm Jim1138. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Fortune cookie because it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks.

 * I will add that Wikipedia is not to be used for promotional or publicity purposes, ever. Doing so runs counter to the goal of Wikipedia, which is to build an encyclopedia of human knowledge, not serve as a free platform for advertising. Before your app can be mentioned, it must have already achieved notability, that is, it has received significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Wikipedia is not a means to become notable; rather, your app has to become notable on its own merits before it can appear in Wikipedia.


 * Please take some time to read up on Wikipedia's policies (some of which are linked my my paragraph above), before you proceed further. Continued attempts at promoting your app may result in your account being blocked and any links blacklisted. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:35, 2 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Regarding blacklisting, I would suggest reading WP:BLACKLIST. Regarding your message on my talk page 1 and talk page 2 I would also suggest reading WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL. Personal attacks may get you wp:blocked Jim1138 (talk) 22:02, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on user talk:Jim1138. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jim1138 (talk) 22:13, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
