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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.-- VViking Talk Edits 14:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. -- VViking Talk Edits 14:41, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. 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.-- VViking Talk Edits 14:43, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Help me!
I'm trying to add a link to a timeline that a group of university students have made regarding the history of boats. We have worked very hard on it and everything on the timeline is referenced. It contains lots of information on a variety of boats which we think would be useful for anyone interested in these boats/ships. However, we have tried adding the link to a variety of pages such as HMS Endeavour, North River Steamboat and HMS Dreadnought (1906) but we have been warned that we will be blocked if we edit any more pages. Any help?
