Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. -- GraemeL (talk) 00:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi there
I was sitting here thinking that you didn't seem to be the typical spammer, that I would end up blocking you as you weren't noticing my messages, and hopefully, that you would email me after the block to start talking.

Adding links to the same site is generally frowned on, especially if all of your contributions are adding links. Wikipedia has a huge problem with people appearing from nowhere, adding a pile of external links and vanishing. This doesn't contribute to the content of the encyclopedia, and if it went unchecked, the articles would end up with huge collections of mostly bad links to other sites.

Your site may be appropriate on the Cape Cod page where you originally posted it, but it was not appropriate to all of the other places you added it. Click on some of the links on the welcome message that you received and on the links in the warning I posted ( I have removed the higher level warnings I added) and you should start to get a feel for how things work on the project. Remember that adding content is almost always better than adding external links, and have fun editing Wikipedia. --GraemeL (talk) 00:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
