You appear to be having trouble with citations
Hello, I've noticed that on a number of articles this morning you have deleted the tag. Please do not do this. That tag automatically generates the references section from the references that have been placed throughout the article. The correct place to add a reference is in the body of the article next to the text that you are referencing. If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask. - X201 (talk) 12:43, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Fallout: New Vegas. 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. Rehevkor ✉  11:54, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to GoldenEye 007 (2010 video game). It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This is your last warning; the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Medal of Honor (2010 video game), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

External link/reference issues
Hello, I have noticed that you have on a number of occasions added a link as a citation to Fallout: New Vegas; doing so is inappropriate for a number of reasons.

First, the link itself is of limited notability: not all links, even those relating to the subject, are appropriate and the one you are adding (http://www.latestchoice.com/ArticleControl.do?parameter=getNewsArticleDetails&articleId=800210544) would not be considered notable in its own right. Second, is that citations need to relate to something; if you want to add links, please add them to the external links section of a page (or create it if it does not exist). Think of a citation as proof of a statement rather than simply a link to a "useful" page. Links to websites can simply be typed or, alternatively, put inside square brackets along with a title and separated by a space (i.e. [url title] ). It should be noted however that that link would not satisfy the external link criteria for inclusion on its own. Finally, having multiple reflists is a no-no.

Please read our policy on external links here, as it may prove useful.
