Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your interest in contributing to it. Unfortunately, your contribution to the article Anne of Green Gables appears to be promotional material copied and pasted from this web site, and has consequently been reverted. While everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, advertising is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. To learn more about Wikipedia, please take a look at the welcome page.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Anne of Green Gables. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Also, when one of your edits has been reverted as being apparently promotional you should first discuss the material concerned on the article's talk page before reinserting it. If you believe the material you have added to Anne of Green Gables is appropriate for inclusion in that article, please provide some justification for that opinion in this section of the article's talk page.

I have removed any promotional material and or any web site artwork that I put up before in error Thanks Michael


 * Not in my opinion. The material which I tagged, and which has now been completely removed by editor Ckatz, was still quite clearly promotional.


 * Moreover, you have stated that you are the owner of the copyright in this picture, which is displayed on the website of the museum being promoted. You would therefore appear to have some close connection to that museum.  While this does not absolutely disqualify you from adding material about it to Wikipedia articles, it does mean that you are strongly discouraged from doing so by Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest&mdash;which you would be well advised to read carefully before doing so again. If it becomes evident to other editors that the main purpose of your edits is simply to add material about this museum to Wikipedia, this may result in your being blocked from any further editing.

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.
