Hello, I'm Zeng8r. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Gasparilla Pirate Festival because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and otherwise using Wikipedia as a promotional tool is against Wikipedia policy and is not permitted, especially if a user appears to have business or financial ties to the topic of the article in question. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Zeng8r (talk) 20:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Gasparilla Pirate Festival. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Same as last year.

The link: http://sessums.net/gasparilla/ is a commercial website and really only provides a countdown clock wich has no value to the reader.  The "Gasparilla Pirate Festival - Official Site link" is also a commercial site which offers goods for sale as well as tickets to the events. Gasparilla.com provides and events calendar, latest news about the event, the krewes, the area and the parades that are Gasparilla.  No other site does this in the fashion that we provide. We respectfully request that you stop removing our legitimate and Trademark Protected link. GasparillaMedia (talk) 05:58, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
