Be careful
This account seems to only be making edits that promote a business. Wikipedia is not an appropriate forum for advertising; if you are only here to promote a business, you will not find Wikipedia what you are looking for. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from all of Wikipedia. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:24, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

These individuals are patrons of a charity. I am not using the encyclopedia to promote a business. They are all active patrons of our charity and have agreed to be named on our own website, letterheads and annual report. I think their charitable activities are a point of interest to Wiki users.


 * You have made an error. Notable people donate to many charities; they do not need to be listed in an encyclopedia article about those people.  Because you are an employee of the charity, you have a conflict of interest that makes it inappropriate for you to add information about it to Wikipedia; if these people's participation in this charity really is notable, then the people who read about it in the papers and magazines will add it to the article- not someone who has a reason to promote the organization. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:33, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
