Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Russ Tice. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Thank you. snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 20:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ali Shakeri. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 22:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

BTW, if you would like to make your contributions of ABC Blotter links useful, then instead of adding external links you should contribute to improve the content of the article, referencing the appropriate entries.

The easiest way to add news references is to use the template. For example, to add a reference to "Charges Expected in Litvinenko Case". ABC News, The Blotter. May 21,2007. you would write:
 * <reference name="charges_expected">

This would appear as such.
