Wikipedia is NOT for promotion
Quit spamming the links for ugapress.com. If you wish to add material from books from UGA press to the articles, that's fine, but just putting the site out there serves no purpose. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:08, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Seven Sisters (colleges), you may be blocked from editing. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:18, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

"We were hoping to add some of our books to further reading sections. I had my intern, Ashley Bene, start this project and she received your spam warnings. Sorry if posting those was inappropriate. Is it within standard practices for publishers to post titles for further reading without external links? I did read through the guidelines and it seemed within bounds to do this, though I can see the problem with the external links. I'd really like for Ashley to be able to post these, but we want to comply with the rules. Please advise. John McLeod--Sales and Marketing Director, UGA Press (jmcleod@ugapress.uga.edu)."

 * hi, sorry about the spam warnings. however, the culture here tends to disdain anything that might be considered "promotional". please review the Conflict of interest policy. if you would post your disclaimer on your user page, User:Ashleybene, that would help. also if you would post your book reference on the article talk page for discussion before adding, that would be perceived as less "promotional". also a reference to a book page that supports a sentence in the article is ok. thanks for the good references. 98.169.253.6 (talk) 17:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
