spam warning
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.

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. kollision (talk) 09:09, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

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.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continuing to add spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Cirt (talk) 07:05, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Reply to Ckatz: Thank you Ckatz, I have just re-read the guidelines for adding external links and I now understand that this area is for direct links to the material and I promise to endeavour to place any useful sources as references.
 * Dear reviewing administrator Cirt, I was just wondering when you will be able to provide a comment on my request for an unblock. Since my request I have looked up the policies on wikipedia in regards to spamming and now fully understand that just adding links to a topic page is incorrect, and that any sources must be added as references embedded in the text of the topic. I promise to stop adding links, and any references I may contribute will be inserted only when appropriate and relevant, and only as references. I would gratefully appreciate your comment, thank you.
 * Comment - I'm canceling the template - you just need one. I also moved your response and request out of the unblock on hold template, so that others are not confused about the timeline of your responses and the admin's comments. Tim Song (talk) 06:19, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Took this out of the hold category, it's stale. Philonexus, the blocking administrator disagreed with unblocking because he felt your unblock request indicated you would continue to add external links to "The Monthly". You would do well to address this concern in future unblock requests. I also agree with others that these are not appropriate external links, but that they may be good sources. Perhaps adding them to the talk page if you don't plan to insert them as inline references yourself. –xenotalk 14:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
