Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Walmart, you may be blocked from editing. 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.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Walmart. 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. Fake NYT link.

 * Mdaniels5757, their link doesn't look fake to me — is it? The link that was there before, and that you restored, doesn't work. Bishonen &#124; tålk 19:59, 18 May 2020 (UTC).
 * OK, I see it was the caps. Thanks. Bishonen &#124; tålk 20:00, 18 May 2020 (UTC).
 * And one more spam link. Blocked. Bishonen &#124; tålk 20:03, 18 May 2020 (UTC).

 * The link they were inserting wasn't to the actual nytimes.com site. Take a close look at what should be the "i" in "nytımes"here. Chrome gave me a warning when I tried to use it. For tech details, see IDN homograph attack. --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 20:05, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know, I saw it all, the strange ı included. I just didn't understand any of it! Thanks for your help. Bishonen &#124; tålk 20:11, 18 May 2020 (UTC).
 * , Thank you! First time I've seen this kind of link first-hand (as opposed to news), and definitely first time I've seen it on Wikipedia... --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 20:14, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
