Links to Cobmatrec
Hello, I've reverted your additions of external links that link to Combatrec. Wikipedia's policy on External links directs us to keep external links to a minimum. There is already link in the fighters' articles that links to their records. Furthermore, the Combatrec page states "This record may be incomplete or inacurate", making the link not helpful to the encyclopedia. Sancho 23:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Shinya Aoki. 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. Thank you. Sancho 23:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Spencer Fisher. 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.

Sancho 23:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC) 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 as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.
