Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. The links you added to the page Absinthe have been removed. Please do not add commercial links—or links to your own private websites—to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Kafziel 14:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Second spam warning
Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia, as you did in Absinthe. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Please note that spam includes content written as an advertisement, not just links. Kafziel 14:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Content guidelines
The problem with your additions to the Absinthe article is that they are written in the tone of an advertisement for certain products and brands. Maintaining a neutral point of view is very important on Wikipedia, which means not claiming a particular brand revolutionized absinthe or is the best kind. Claims like that are very rarely substantiated by neutral, trustworthy sources. Absinthe is a featured article, which means it is one of the finest articles on Wikipedia and has gone through a rigorous process of fact checking. If you feel information about a particular brand or product is important, please discuss it on the article's talk page. Here are some links you might find helpful:
 * User tutorial
 * Help desk
 * Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
 * Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions on talk pages by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me again for help. Kafziel 15:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
