Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Uptown Village at Cedar Hill. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did with Uptown Village at Cedar Hill, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Biker Biker (talk) 21:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Blocked

Bye bye spammer. --Biker Biker (talk) 21:23, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

i guess you didn't see my hyperlink i'm in that mall and want to be represented because i'm not


 * You're right...but repeatedly adding what is clearly a link to your own business is considered to be spam. Someone reported you for spamming and I blocked you as a result.  I've gone you one better:  I went ahead and added "Uptown Popcorn" to the list and I'll go ahead and unblock you...but please don't try and promote your business.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 21:53, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

thank you so much i'm new to this and just created an account and didn't see my talk is an inbox until it was to late. the first time i added my site because i thought that's what you do and then i noticed that you add it to your wiki page. once again i am sorry for looking like i was spamming but i'm not.

quick question then i see the other stores on there that have a link to its page and that page describes its business and start and stuff like that. am i allowed to do that?


 * Good question. The links are to articles on major anchor stores and not necessarily to individual businesses within the mall.  So, to link your site to the article would be a conflict of interest, described here.  I was in broadcast marketing for years and believe me when I say that Wikipedia is a lousy advertising medium.  We get some real spammers and well, we tend to shoot first and ask questions later because of it. Welcome to the project andplease feel free to ask for help if you need any. Good luck with the business! I don't have popcorn, but may I offer you a cookie?

yeah we're not a major anchor, you might add this mall, we are in it also and it's one of the biggest development going on right now in texas. http://www.thevillageshopping.com/index.html
