Please stop. If you continue spamming Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing.--Hu12 (talk) 15:02, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi All, I was sorry to see my small contributions characterized as "Spam." I certainly respect the principles of Wikipedia I have added only a few external links over a period of years, only place them on relevant pages and -- if deleted -- I never replace them. Most visitors spent considerable time on my site and expressed frequent satisfaction. I do not derive any significant revenue from any of these pages, and I believe my site contains an extensive and well-maintained body of information that is a positive contribution to this Wiki site. I respectfully request that some of these deletions be reviewed again. Thanks for your attention. Auralgo (talk) 19:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Roughly you've added your link to about 37 articles. External links policy on Advertising and conflicts of interest states You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, and in this case, its your site. Unfortunately your conflict of interest editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote birdminds.com. Such a conflict is strongly discouraged. Your contributions to wikipedia under Auralgo and IP's  68.53.73.39, 68.208.43.9,  98.193.198.83,  consist entirely of adding external links and is considered  WP:Spam. Please do not continue adding links to your own websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is NOT a "repository of links" or a "vehicle for advertising" and persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted. Any further spamming may result in your account and/or your IP address being blocked from editing Wikipedia. You're here to improve Wikipedia -- not just to promote birdminds.com right?  --Hu12 (talk) 15:18, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hu12, I apologize for creating any issues, and I promise not to add any more links. In my feeble defense, I would like to say that I typically only added a link when I created a new page, with the philosophy that the links were small, plainly labeled, and in cases where they persisted, remained because the person maintaining the page felt they added useful content. Frankly, although I value my ability to participate in in Wikipedia, I am uncomfortable editing other people's prose and prefer to concentrate on my own sites where I have creative control. As you probably understand, my overall interest lies more in experimenting with the internet than in any plans for financial gain through Adsense, which is limited to a couple of bucks a month, and for me is just part of the fun of playing around with websites. Wikipedia is indeed an amazing resource and -- believe it or not -- I appreciate guys like yourself that police the process to keep it honest. Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me.

 * What you can do If you have a source to contribute (something from your site), first contribute some facts on the talk page of an article, then cite your link as a source. Then let other editors incorporate it into the article. This will be in keeping with the objective of Neutrality. When doing so, be aware of Canvassing as it relates to Source soliciting. Thanks for your replies--Hu12 (talk) 15:23, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
