Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please stop adding advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you insert advertising or a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:13, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I didn't think that the links were spam, as they go to clusters of related content... and there are no adverts or bad links on those pages. And there were already links there that are very similar! The pages are generated from crawls of the blogosphere and then clustered around entities that have been extracted from from the Wikipedia contents itself. I was trying to close the loop by connecting the two back together. If that's not OK then I won't do that. I got banned before I even noticed any warning. I think I edited 5 pages in all. If you'd like to check out what I'm trying to do then take a look at the sites here: http://sportsreflector.com Merrells (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2010 (UTC)John
