Links
Hi... first off, thanks for your contributions. I've had to remove some of them because we generally avoid adding external links simply because they exist. A more appropriate use is in the manner that you have used them to reference material and add new information. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions regarding this. --Ckatz chat spy  21:57, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Single purpose account/Link canvassing
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. OhNo itsJamie Talk

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Disambiguation link notification for December 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sharon Hayes (artist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page East Village (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

File:TedHamm.jpg
Hello, please don't overwrite images with unrelated new ones under the same name. The existing file File:TedHamm.jpg has a license statement and source information on its information page that applies only to that original image but presumably not to your new one. You are welcome to upload a new image and exchange it in the article, but please upload it under a new filename. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Ralph Bakshi
Please stop adding that text to Ralph Bakshi. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but when you use those symbols, the software thinks you are trying to add a template. There is no such template, so you are just adding broken text that doesn't do anything. -- Laser brain  (talk)  20:00, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

November 2013
Dear Talk,

I am unclear as to why I have been blocked and why I have been spamming. I have read the policies on spamming and external links and it still remains unclear as to why my edits are considered spamming. Could you please specify what I've been doing wrong?

Thanks RB231 (talk) 19:52, 11 November 2013 (UTC)Sara
