Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Tim Pawlenty. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:41, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Upon further examination, it is clear that your only activity in Wikipedia has been to add spamlinks for "Leading Authorities Speakers Bureau: Great Events Start Here". I'm sorry it took us so long to spot this pattern of behavior. You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:45, 5 July 2011 (UTC)


 * If the speakers are notable in their own right, they should have articles - and probably will already. If they are mainly notable for speaking in connection with Leading Authorities, then this would still count as promotion. Looking at the article, I can't see any claim to notability for the company - and can't see why it should be any more notable than any other agency. I can't see anyone unconnected with the company making an article. Peridon (talk) 18:57, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
 * In addition to pointing out that you are proposing to continue making exactly the worst kind of edits, edits to articles about people whose increased notoriety will enrich your company, I must also point out that having notable clients does not make you notable, because notability is neither inherited nor contagious: you do not become notable by working with or for a notable entity. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the information admins. Clearly we misunderstood the Wikipedia guidelines and rules. Great events (talk) 20:16, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
