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 rather than re-adding it. --barneca (talk) 13:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion.

If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --barneca (talk) 14:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Copy of my response to your question
from my talk page:

my username if nferbert and i was not spamming on the boston page. i am providing TRANSPORTATION information in the TRANSPORTATION section. why is that a problem for you? (unsigned comment added at 16:04, July 26, 2007 by Nferbert)


 * With all due respect, you were indeed spamming, based on any reasonable definition of the word. If the use of the word "spamming" itself offends you, then I apologize; feel free to substitute "inappropriate advertising" in any previous messages I've sent you.  But providing 1-3 paragraphs about one particular company, including the toll free number used to make reservations, in three separate articles, qualifies as inappropriate advertising.


 * Wikipedia has some pretty ironclad policies on adding advertising to articles. There is more information available on this at WP:ADVERT and WP:COI. --barneca (talk) 16:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
