Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.

Dreaded Walrus, can you please tell me in what way I have infringed the Wikipedia External links policy by putting a link to the Egg Fried Rice Recipe on www.myparkmag.co.uk on to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_fried_rice#External_links? How is my inclusion of the Egg Fried Rice recipe link any different to the two other external links to Egg Fried rice recipes that are currently already there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by David.harland (talk • contribs)


 * All of your edits so far have been adding links to myparkmag.co.uk. Please see WP:COI, WP:LINKSPAM, and SPAM. My message above isn't specifically regarding Egg fried rice - it was with regards to all of your edits up to that point. I merely provided that particular article as a guide to other editors so they know what your most recent edit was at the time of my warning to you, without having to look at timestamps and things. Anyway, if your spamming was unintentional, and not intended to promote myparkmag.co.uk, then you have my apologies, and I hope you go on to become a great editor. :) Dreaded Walrus t c 17:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
