Merrimack Valley
Welcome. You're new here, so bear with me a minute:

You've already been told the link is not appropriate per being only tangentially related per WP:ELNO. Now, you've re-added it three times, which while over the 24 hour period officially called out is nearing violation of 3RR, and worse, your username makes it clear it's your site (Gregory DerBogosian Enterprises), which is a violation of yet another policy, EL. Add it again and we'll get working on getting your account, which has only been used for the purpose of spamming this link, banned.

Now, that said there is also a Wikipedia policy called BITE, and in the spirit of that, this is how this is supposed to work. I'm actually not in total agreement that your link is entirely inappropriate, at least until I figured out you were adding it yourself. The way you are supposed to be dealing with this is posting your complaint, after someone reverts your edits, to the talk page for the article. In this case Talk:Merrimack Valley (note the discussion tab at the top of the page). From there, you can work towards a Consensus as to if it should be there or not. Without that, you're just going to get yourself in trouble.

Thanks, CSZero (talk) 15:28, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
