Please stop adding advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --Hu12 (talk) 01:14, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

You have been from editing Wikipedia for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia.--Hu12 (talk) 15:46, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

My additions to all of these comic artists' and scholars' external links are not "spam" - at least to my mind. In May of this year, all of scholars and artists to whose pages I added this external link participated in a conference hosted at the University of Chicago called "Comics: Philosophy & Practice." The link I added in each case is to a page of videos from the conference's website. The videos are open domain, do not violate copyrights, and all of the scholars whose pages I edited agreed to be filmed and that the video footage could be uploaded to the conference website for public viewing. These are videos of these scholars delivering papers, discussing their work in panels, and leading workshops that concern their field. The videos could be really helpful to people who want to know more about these scholars' work, and I'm unclear as to why these links have been removed.

Again, these links are relevant, they're helpful, they were posted with the permission of these scholars, and they don't infringe on copyrights. Why were they removed? Best wishes, EmmaLangham (talk) 18:44, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Repeatedly adding links to multiple pages is considered WP:LINKSPAMMING, and is prohibited. Additionally they are videos which use plugins which are links normaly to be avoided, which fails our external links guidelines. "posted with the permission of these scholars" Please see WP:NOPAY.

 * Yes, the internet is full of interesting material, but Wikipedia is not a directory to that content. Unlike Wikipedia, DMOZ is a web directory specifically designed to categorize and list all Internet sites; if you've not already gotten your sites listed there, I encourage you to do so -- it's a more appropriate venue for your links than our wikis.
