Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Manicure. 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.

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. -MBK004 05:30, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Legal document assistant.  Matthew  Yeager  05:35, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Your assumption of my inappropriate external links
Email sent to be by Potentialesq Subject: Your assumption of my inappropriate external links Body: To my knowledge and as I look on the Legal Document Assistant page, I noticed that there are other businesses and/or organizations that have linked themselves to Wikipedia. I, myself, is an LDA and do wish to list my business as well - not as a solicitor. I don't know who you represent yourself to be, as when I called the Wikipedia San Francisco office, they told me that there are no moderators for Wikipedia and you are just another user. I ask that you discontinue the threatening emails of assumption that I am listing inappropriate external links on Wikipedia. If you continue to do so, I will take this matter up with the Wikipedia Foundation and or a higher authority.

(I prefer to respond via Wikipedia) Hello, I am a user on Wikipedia and I do not attempt to represent myself as being in any place of authority. I apologize if you find the warnings left on your talk page to be threatening, that was not my intent. In fact, all the warnings you have received are standard messages to warn uses. In response to your concern, please review the Wikipedia policy on External Links. If you feel other external links are not following this policy, please feel free to remove their links(provided they are in violation of Wikipedia Policy). Such external links to State and National associations, provide additional resources that are not included in the article. When determining if your link should be add please pay close attention to links normally to be avoided as well as the conflict of interest policy. When reviewing your edit, I found the addition to be in violation of the following guidelines(Located here): 1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. 4. Links mainly intended to promote a website. 5. Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising. As well as being in violation of the conflict of interest policy, as the website you added to the article clearly attempts to promote themselves with "WE ARE NOW ON WIKIPEDIA - CHECK US IT OUT".

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the Wikipedia Policy I mentioned and I will do my best to point you into the correct direction. Thank you for your time,  Matthew  Yeager  19:11, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
