Thanks Jersyko for the notice. I'll refrain from adding links in the future and won't object to anyone else removing them.

A note
Hello, NIMSP. I noticed the external links you have added to several articles about state marriage amendments. I reviewed the links, and found them to be a valuable resource. In any event, based on your user name, I wanted to notify you of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Please be mindful of this policy when editing from now on. Additionally, mass addition of external links often does not comport with Wikipedia's spam policy. Again, I found the links to be useful and an excellent resource, so I do not plan to remove them, but I would not be surprised if another editor viewed the addition of links to be spamming. · jersyko   talk  15:16, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Link spamming
While I agree with Jersyko that the external links that you added are helpful, you added an external link to a moderate number of articles. Plus you obviously have a conflict of interest and you are promoting your website. The combination of these facts have caused me to give you a warning for link spamming. I have given you the lowest level warning, but I have not removed the external links. I will not object if other contributors remove the links. Royal broil 15:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Royal broil 15:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Royalbroil. I was unaware of the Link Spamming policy and won't add more or object to you or others removing the links.
