Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Microsoft Wave. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted.

Stop adding external links
Wikipedia is an international encyclopaedia, so stop adding country-specific websites to articles. There is absolutely no justification for adding links to Microsoft Wave to Microsoft articles when the existing international links cover the topic in sufficient depth. You seem to be a single purpose account and that raises my suspicions that you may have something to do with the company. if that is the case then I would encourage you to read Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy and carefully consider your actions. --Simple Bob (talk) 16:39, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''Please stop adding the Microsoft Wave link to articles. UK-only websites are not appropriate to international articles where there are already sufficient links from the manufacturer's international website.

Microsoft Wave is not spamming Wikipedia. Microsoft Wave is not a regional website, it is a Microsoft International site, but just hosted on the UK infrastructure. It was placed on Microsoft owned articles. This is not spamming - why have they been removed? --MrLeeWilliams (talk) 16:59, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The microsoft wave article itself states it is a UK website. All the products that you have spammed already have sufficient microsoft links - in fact some of the articles have too many links and based on WP:ELNO should be trimmed down. I come back to my point about you being a single purpose account. Why are you fixated on Microsoft Wave? Are you connected with the company in any way? There are far more ways that you can contribute to Wikipedia other than adding external links to every article that you can find --Simple Bob (talk) 17:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

What are maintenance templates. It made the page look untidy and unfinished. You have rolled the Microsoft Wave page back too far. Microsoft Wave is not spamming Wikipedia. Microsoft Wave is not a regional website, it is a Microsoft International site, but just hosted on the UK infrastructure. It was placed on Microsoft owned articles. This is not spamming - why have they been removed? --MrLeeWilliams (talk) 17:16, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Maintenance templates are the things that indicate there is a problem with the page. Specifically they were tagging "peacock" phrases like "cool" and "funky" which were applied to the article. I have removed the templates myself, but only because I removed the offending phrases. If you want to focus your efforts on somethiing, why not improve this article by providing reliable 3rd party references describing the origin and purpose of wave? --Simple Bob (talk) 17:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay - really sorry I completely didn't understand. However, 'cool', 'fresh' developments is the site's tagline. If you go to Microsoft.com/uk and scroll down to the news section you will see the words cool describing Microsoft Wave.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia which uses facts not marketing taglines. The site may call itself cool, and you could word the article in such a way that the concept is carried across while still remaining factual e.g. Wave is a Microsoft website used to promote new technology that the company describes as cool. That is very different from saying Wave is a Microsoft website used to promote cool new technology. See the difference? --Simple Bob (talk) 17:34, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
