Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. 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. Scheinwerfermann (talk) 01:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. Patrick (talk) 02:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi there. I have reduced your block to 24 hours based on your response here and your email to me. This 24 hours is not punitive; I am leaving this in place to allow you the opportunity to read up on applicable Wikipedia policy. As you can see above, this is not the place to advertise your company. If you want to write an article about your company, please realize it needs to comply with several other policies - it cannot be advertising or promotional, it must meet notability requirements of WP:CORP, and it will be highly scrutinized because you have a conflict of interest in it. Unless your company has been written about in major media venues - not just mentioned, but say, the focus of a feature article in a magazine, or a book written about the company - it probably doesn't meet notability requirements. Please also read the five pillars of Wikipedia for a broad overview of our core policies. Thank you; let me know on my talk page if you have further questions. Tan      39  02:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Livingshiraz, you write:
 * I see Im blocked, I have been adding external links to our company website. I thought it was okay. Opps I was wrong, I had just started, ill be more careful now and double check the policy. Can you unblock me, I*m sorry and I understand now also. Where can I add a new article about our company?

The answer is "Nowhere on Wikipedia". This is not the place to advertise your company. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 03:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
