Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Dekisugi (talk) 11:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * And in many articles you inserted the same external link. It's considered as spamming. Dekisugi (talk) 11:15, 14 January 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.

First, I reverted some of your edits because you wrote a tourism guide-like article, not an encyclopaedia article. Please read what Wikipedia is not, and surely that Wikipedia is not Wikitravel. Perhaps it's better that you go to wikitravel to improve articles about those places there. Second, I noticed that you'd inserted only French Property Links website, but there are other reliable sources to describe those places. Your action was considered as spamming, because in that webpage there are absolutely commercial advertisement of properties to sale. It's not acceptable as external links in Wikipedia.
