User talk:John The Buckeye

Welcome!
Hello, John The Buckeye, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Six Sigma, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Grayfell (talk) 04:37, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Six Sigma. 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. Grayfell (talk) 04:38, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Six Sigma, you may be blocked from editing. ''Please stop trying to insert WP:REFSPAM of your website. It's not productive.'' Grayfell (talk) 04:49, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Lean Six Sigma. 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.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because it is clear that you are here not to contribute to building the encyclopedia, but to use Wikipedia for promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Also, your editing has repeatedly added content that infringes copyright. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
