Links
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. --Ronz (talk) 16:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

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. 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. See also WP:COI in case it might apply. --Ronz (talk) 16:25, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Corelis
Hello Mapstain, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Corelis - a page you tagged - because: that's not particularly spammy. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Ged UK  19:18, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
