Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Canary Wharf has been reverted. Your edit here to Canary Wharf was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline.

If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page G. Ware Travelstead do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Your edit here to G.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to London Docklands Development Corporation. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to The Daily Telegraph. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Fleet Street, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 10:25, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

How does X work?
Your question. Hello, I was blocked because I put links to my films on Youtube. In the case of Canary Wharf the film is about the origins of Canary Wharf commissioned by the LDDC. All other links to YouTube were relevant linnks and could be of interest to researchers using Wikipaedia. The appeal process seems very complicated and I could not find any way of making the appeal.
 * Hi there. The main reason that you were blocked is because you were linking to your own work indiscriminately. You have a conflict of interest between improving Wikipedia and promoting your own work.
 * To appeal the block, copy the following text and paste it into the edit window at the bottom. In between "reason=" and " ~ ", write why you think you should be unblocked. Your request is more likely to succeed if you demonstrate that you understand why you were blocked and that you do not intend to do the same thing if you are unblocked.

 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px|link=]] Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png located above the edit window.  This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you.
 * Oh and youtube links should be avoided... mabdul 17:34, 21 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Adding unnecessary external links to pages is called SPAM here, the idea is to give the reader all the details her wants, not direct him/her off the WP site - there are a few external links which may be added (Official web sites, etc). In general YouTube is a no-no, and most YouTube links are often removed - copyright is a real issue with YouTube, we often can't be sure that WP is not linking to a copyright violation (which is not allowed) - A guideline on external Links can be found at WP:EL, which also has a YouTube section.
 * If the video copyright is owned by yourself and it's inclusion would improve an article, then you can consider converting and uploading the video and showing it on the article page - it's not done often but it works - see Arnside for an example of an included video.
 * To request unblock copy this text    into the bottom of the edit window of your talk page as replace the "Your reason here" with your reasons.  Ron h jones (Talk) 19:28, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
