 Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link,  you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. You are, however, encouraged to add appropriate content to the encyclopedia. If you feel the material in question should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Hu12 17:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Wiki is an oligarchy
This is not egalitarian whatsoever. My website is actually a helpful place for reverse mortgage consumers - it's a list of lenders. One of the other websites on here is nothing more than an advertising vehicle for a large reverse mortgage lender. This is the stuff that is going to make wiki useless. No one wants a few biased interested parties telling them what is useful. If you have something to say about this, email me at byron@reversemortgagepage.com. If you are contributing to this - you should be ashamed of yourself. Spam assasin award - bs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Byron717 (talk • contribs).


 * Wikipedia is not a repository for lists, directories or Advocacy of commercial products and/or websites. That other site need to go, too. The fact that we haven't gotten around to it, yet, does not mean that we have some obligation to have your site.


 * You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked. If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it. see Advertising and conflicts of interest guidelines.


 * Your contributions to wikipedia consist of adding reversemortgagepage.com and is considered WP:Spam. Looking through your contributions as a whole, the majority seem to be external link related only. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a link farm. If you have content to contribute, contribute that. Don't simply direct readers to another site. You're here to improve Wikipedia -- not just to funnel readers off Wikipedia and onto some other site, right? --Hu12 18:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
