The recent edit you made to Facebook constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Darth Panda (talk) 20:30, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

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.

Dear Wikipedia,

I am so sorry that I messed up. Please accept my apologies. I thought that you wanted references for the information that I added, which is why I listed my etiquette Web site. I am a bit confused, you say that you want references, but when I gave it, she got angry. I noticed that Emily Post added a table manner and her book was referenced. Why is referencing a book different from referencing a Web site? My Web site is my research tool for my book Newport Etiquette & Modern Manners. Please advise.

 * Didi, you have been using your own self-published website to back up claims or simply adding it to articles as further reading. Your website does not meet our standards as a reliable source.  Your continued addition of your own website is considered spamming here and will lead to your account being blocked and your website being blacklisted if it continues.  I hope this clears up why you are continuing to receive warnings and your edits are being reverted.  If you have access to better sources you may be able to help improve the etiquette articles - they are in dire straights. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a message at the bottom of my talk page. -- SiobhanHansa 22:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Note & Welcome
Please read the guidelines noted below. While your site might be ok in some situations, the manner in which you were adding it, made it appear to be spam. -- Versa geek  15:55, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Ms., you will be blocked from editing. Offenbach (talk) 15:10, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I was merely trying to add a fact. You asked for a reference, so I gave it to you. I also sited where I got my information from so I am a little confused as to how this works. On my website I have had many questions about when to use Miss and Ms. Well, I use Letitia Baldridge as one of my references, in her book New Manners for New Times, she says that when a women turns eighteen she no longer uses the title Miss, because at eighteen a woman uses the title Ms.

Please, tell me how I could have referenced this better? You asked for a reference. I did not put a link to my site, I only referenced my site because I'm an etiquette expert, who researches all my information. Please tell me how I should have written up the switch from Miss to Ms.? I think it is an interesting piece of etiquette that should be included with the information about Ms. and I would be happy to comply with your rules. Please tell me how I should have written this. Thank you very much. Didi Lorillard


 * You can't reference yourself, nor can you claim that you are an expert as the reason for stating something as fact. Nor does creating your own website make you a recognized expert. Anyone could do those things and claim whatever they want on WP. You are welcome to add information if you properly reference a recognized authority. I suggest you read other WP articles and examine the standard reference formats. As you have been warned about this previously, I think you should take the time to familiarize yourself with WP more thoroughly before deciding to make more edits. 72.76.224.14 (talk) 20:55, 20 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I think what you are trying to say has already been written about, with a reference to the Emily Post Institute, at the article "Miss". Njsustain (talk) 21:03, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
