You seem to be engaged purely in adding external links to a particular organization. That's not an appropriate use of Wikipedia. Please examine WP:EL for more information. Tb (talk) 20:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to French Ensor Chadwick 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. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Caspar F. Goodrich. Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion. Thank you.

More information may help you understand which links are appropriate. The one you added a while ago to Alexander Hamilton is fine, it links to something quite specific about the subject of the page, and gives additional useful information about the topic. But simply linking every New York historical page to the NYHS website is not ok. Tb (talk) 20:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to USS Pensacola (1859). If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Eric Wester (talk · contribs · email) 21:03, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
