Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Council on Competitiveness has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bwordpress\.com' (link(s): http://council2blog.wordpress.com/). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Welcome - July 2008
Hello CompeteCoC and welcome to Wikipedia! Your recent edits have numerous problems, I would urge you to step back, read the links I've provided above, and adopt a new approach - otherwise you run the risk of being blocked and casting a negative light on the organization whose article you wish to improve. Keep in mind that Google indexes all Wikipedia pages that mention the Council on Competitiveness.

I hope you will review the "welcome" links I've provided. You may also wish to review a few more: your edits are exclusively to Council on Competitiveness, which makes you a single-purpose account; your user name directly refers to the CoC, which indicates that you have a conflict of interest; you are repeatedly inserting the same unreferenced information after it is reverted - this is edit-warring and could push you past the three-revert rule; you are restoring the same content which ignores the bold-revert-discuss cycle; it appears that you are blindly copy-pasting text from previous article versions which violates our copyright policy (you don't indicate the source). All the links I just gave you end up describing how you can be blocked for persisting in those actions.

In short, you seem to be uninformed on our policies and procedures here. I would urge you to stop inserting text into the CoC article. Instead I suggest that you review all the links provided above, perhaps try editing some articles outside your narrow field of interest to get a feel for how Wikipedia works; and in the meantime, if you have suggestions for how the CoC article can be improved, post them to the article talk page where more experienced editors can review your ideas.

I think you will agree that the current situation where you keep making the same changes and they keep getting reverted is not productive for any of us. Please consider changing your methods. Regards! Franamax (talk) 21:22, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
