Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Vasquez Rocks has been reverted. Your edit here to Vasquez Rocks was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://usimages.blogspot.com/2014/03/vasquez.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 23:18, 23 January 2015 (UTC) A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Iamvagabond, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Gaff (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Adding external links.
Hi. I noticed a bot removed one of your recent link additions. In general, adding external links to your own blog will be seen as spammy, especially when these are the first edits from a new account (in which case they will sometimes be removed automatically). If the photos are your own work, and your motivation is to share them rather than to drive traffic to your blog, consider uploading some of the more "encyclopedic" ones (i.e. not photos of people) to [//commons.wikimedia.org/ wikimedia commons] under a Creative Commons license. Most articles link to a commons category where more images related to the subject can be viewed. They'll be available to people for much longer that way than via an external link, since those tend to be purged periodically. This also makes them available for adding directly to articles, when appropriate. Hope you'll give it some thought. --jnkyrdsprkl (talk) 23:55, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing because the purpose of this account appears to be for advertising or promotion. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by copying the text and posting it below this notice (replacing "Your reason here &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;" with the reason), but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
