This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. (thesportsinterview spam) Ckatz chat spy  20:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You continue to remove links that would be helpful to users to learn more information about a certain famous person. I am considering going to mediation or arbitration with you. You continue to remove sources that would be helpful to people. Interviews are considered good external links. You aren't following your own rules. Pages that include Jaslene Gonzalez and Robin Roberts interviews under external links were good sources. Would you please stop removing things that are good sources. You aren't helping only hurting. I have tried again and again to source real information and real on the record interviews, but you continue to take it down. It is not spam. I am not selling something to anyone. I am only trying to provide good information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panther188t (talk • contribs)
 * "thesportsinterview" links have been repeatedly spammed across a series of articles for over a year now, and the URL was even on the spam list for a period of time. A host of single-purpose IPs have surfaced, their only goal being to add links to this site to articles. The external links guideline does not condone adding links just because an interview exists; otherwise, we would have hundreds of links on these pages. You have been advised of this repeatedly; please respect the site guidelines. --Ckatz chat spy  20:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to seek a second opinion, but to be perfectly honest you are in all likelihood going to get exactly the same response. Wikipedia does not exist as a directory for links; furthermore, the fact that your links were "up for a year" does not indicate that they should have been placed to begin with. There are well over two million articles on Wikipedia, so it does take time to clean up problems. You are not the first site owner to question why his or her links are being removed; many, many people have done the same thing, because they do not see the difference between Wikipedia and other web sites. I've said this before, but I'll say it again: do not take it as a comment on your site, merely the reality that the links are not suitable for this project. --Ckatz chat spy  21:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I will seek a second opinion. That is for sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panther188t (talk • contribs)


 * If you wish, I can certainly provide links for the dispute resolution process. One additional note - please try to remember to sign your posts on talk pages. You can do that by adding "~" after your comments. --Ckatz chat spy  21:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
