Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. 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. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. --JYolkowski // talk 22:30, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Warning
You've already been warned about adding commercial links to articles. This is inappropriate. Stop doing so immediately, or you can and will be blocked from editing. Serious efforts to improve the encyclopedic content of Wikipedia from you are welcome. -- Infrogmation 23:12, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

IN REFERENCE TO YOUR NOTES: The Hacienda Chichen property is involved in many non-commercial activities that support the conservation of flora and fauna around Old Chichen and other important Maya ruins. The links I included in the article are not commercial in context! Our Nature Conservation Program and Bird Refuge project, within 300 hectares of  the Hacienda's private property, are valid efforts to reforest the area, protect endemic species, and work with the rural community in nearby towns. We feel our efforts to restore the ecological balance within this important World Heritage, archaeological zone are of great importance. Therefore, we see no reason why you continue to revert our link in the 'external links' section, because it is not inappropriate nor is it violating Wikipedia standards. So please leave a note in my "talk" if you wish but do not delete the link that will allow visitors to enjoy our Bird Refuge and the Nature trails, which can be visited free of charge. I honestly feeling Hacienda Chichen's Nature Conservation efforts to protect over 300 hectares of Maya jungle and wildlife do indeed improve the encyclopedia efforts to share knowledge and good will.

 * Hacienda Chichen may do nifty things, but adding links to it in articles like Wildlife is clearly not appropriate (links there should only be to informative references about about wildlife in general). Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promotion of your travel destination. You were well warned, and if you were uncertain of policies you could have read the above links or asked. Instead, you went back to what is considered spamming here. You've been temporarily blocked from editing. Good luck helping conservation efforts, but please understand that spamming your links inapporiately are more likly to create annoyance than help your cause. -- Infrogmation 14:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Please review What Wikipedia is not, Spam and other relevent pages already linked above if you have trouble understanding policies here. I suggest you stop complaining until you have done so. If you have found other inappropriate commercial links in Wikipedia, please report them. If someone else has acted contrary to Wikipedia guidelines, that is no excuse for you to do likewise. If you had taken some time to try to understand the nature of Wikipedia, or made some good faith effort to heed the warnings you were given, you would not have been blocked. -- Infrogmation 22:13, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

TO Infrogmation

IN RESPONSE TO YOUR LAST NOTE I have reviewed Wikipedia policies and guidelines, as per your above request, and found that in the criteria of “relevant external links” I based my decision to add the link I did; my honest reason was: the link's information was in accordance to the article subject matter. So please undertand no harm was done nor intended. My former notes where a clear desire to "understand" the inconsistent manner in which Wikipedia editors, like yourself, choose to delete a link. Leaving that issue aside and hoping to conclude it "in good faith", I hereby notify you, as a Wikipedia editor, that in the “Yucatan” article, in which I placed the link you deleted, there are two commercial links left untouched, under 'External Links' including: [www. ConDescuento.com] which I have mention before and still stands untouched. Balamche

WILL YOU INFROGMATION KINDLY UNBLOCK MY IP AND USER LOG, OR AT LEAST LEAVE A NOTE IN THIS SPACE TO LET ME KNOW IF THIS BLOCK YOU PLACE HAS A DEADLINE, Balamche July 22,06


 * I've checked the duration of your block, which is 6 months. -- Longhair 10:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


 * If you have read the relevent links and understand why what you did was inappropriate, and you wish to contribute to Wikipedia's encyclopedic content rather than just promote a certain link, you may explain that here. The block can be shortened or removed if you wish to become a serious article editor or writer without a commercial agenda. More spamming from you can result in being reblocked. -- Infrogmation 18:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
