Links
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection 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, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. -Seidenstud (talk) 06:25, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I restored your time-line to Manhattan, but it got removed again. Now I'm tending more to the side of those who think adding this link (and nothing else) to Wikipedia doesn't really fit in with the rest of the encyclopedia. Please read this short section to see why: Spam, and glance over the rest of the policy. It's regrettable that many people who've worked hard on non-commercial links (rather than propaganda or commercial advertising) and understandably think they'd be useful to others get sucked instead into a cycle of reversions, edit wars, misunderstandings, ill-will, warning templates, blocks and bans. If you do put your link on another article and before you do so, please also add something to that article's Discussion Page so the pro's and con's can be addressed more usefully. Thanks. —— Shakescene (talk) 20:52, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on User:Newyorkcitytimeline, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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. -Seidenstud (talk) 20:11, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
