Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

San Diego area beaches
I appreciate your efforts creating these articles, but there needs to be more to them than just a link to Dreamtime Dolphin. DarkAudit 15:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add 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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy 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, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Inter16 15:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do NOT add links to disambiguation pages, as you did with Mission Beach (disambiguation) and Pacific Beach (disambiguation)!! Inter16 15:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

However, this user's external link to Windansea Beach was a valuable one, in my view, and should not have been deleted. Ive reverted. Shawn in Montreal 17:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Warning
Please do not create articles consisting entirely of links, or they will be deleted. Repeatedly recreating these articles could get you blocked. --Wafulz 15:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, please don't add links to your own website, as this presents an original research conflict of interest. If you'd like to write articles about beaches, make sure that you write actual content and use more official sources. Thanks. --Wafulz 15:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Please keep improving articles on beaches, but do not continue to add links to your own website. If you continue to do so, you could be blocked for spamming. &mdash; Scientizzle 15:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
