Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Magnetic levitation. Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Magnetic levitation. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Zhang He (talk) 15:47, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Levitron. Fieldday-sunday (talk) 15:47, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below; but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. J.delanoy gabs adds 22:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

My interest in discussing the link in question precipitated immediately upon my observing notification that I might be blocked. In response, I approached Zhang He and Fieldday-Sunday to clarify matters. My unresponsiveness to earlier indications of link unsuitability (indications made without threat of prohibition) was based in the belief that those indicating as much did so erroneously, or worse, were kowtowing to a company known as Fascinations. I have no personal stake in the matter, but I do have an interest in fairness. Perhaps my interest is misplaced presently; perhaps you'll enlighten me in this regard. Nevertheless, I feel that I should mention that the link in question is directed to the story of how spin-stabilized magnetic levitation was discovered by one of its two independent discoverers. If there is one link that warrants a place under Wikipedia's entry for "Spin-stabilized Magnetic Levitation", it is probably this one. I won't labor further to garner its reinstatement. I will not contest your verdict if unfavorable. Christand Joseph (talk) 01:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Reduced block length
I have reduced the block length from indefinite to 24 hours (starting around now). Mr. Joseph's contributor history clearly shows that he did make an effort to consult with Zhang He regarding the appropriateness of the link that he was adding. However, Zhang He both ignored the inquiry and removed Mr. Joseph's question from the Talk Page. I believe Mr. Joseph was serious about trying to find out what was wrong with his actions, which makes an indef blocking for vandalism seem harsh and inappropriate. However, the block is not being completely erased due to Mr. Joseph's persistence in inserting a link that was repeatedly removed, despite warnings to the contrary. When the block is over, I hope that Mr. Joseph will be able to offer a positive contribution to Wikipedia. I would also invite him to please seek consensus with his fellow editors in matters similar to the one that took place here. Thank you! Pastor Theo (talk) 02:16, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
