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.--John (talk) 00:42, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 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. --John (talk) 00:56, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Hello Melissa. Thanks for your interest in Wikipedia. I see you've come across the opposition of many Wikipedians to adding multiple external links. There is a lot of suspicion of motives of new users who do this; Wikipedians often suspect (despite our advice to assume good faith) that editors who do this are spammers with a conflict of interest. We can include external links to useful resources, but a good approach would be to discuss it on the talk page of the article first. Also, don't add links as the first link in the section above official website, that comes across as rude. Do read our guideline to linking to external sites, and do seek advice at the noticeboard.
