Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Teleflorist 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. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Garyzx (talk) 21:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

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

 * I can assure you this isn't the case - its neither advertising, nor promotion, merely a factual link to a place which contains deal information from The Body Shop - that's objective, insofar as a link to the company homepage is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabmaster (talk • contribs) 22:07, 2 February 2009

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Laura Ashley. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Garyzx (talk) 21:34, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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.

Official sites
Hello. I just reverted an edit you made to Paddy Power where you removed the official link. Judging by a comment you made in the above section, it seems that you feel that if your link shouldn't be added, then the official site shouldn't be included; however, per WP:ELYES, the official website of the subject of the article should be included. Just wanted to give you a heads-up. Cheers! Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 22:17, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, anytime. Wikipedia is the target of a lot of WP:SPAM, so, most of the time, when links to the same website are added to a lot of different articles, they will usually all reverted as spam, regardless of if this was the actual intention. You might want to take a look at WP:EL to see what links should generally be added, and if you need any help with links or anything else, you can ask on the article's talk page or you can always ask me (I may not always be the most help, but I never care to try) :) Happy editing!

 * Yeah, I'm sorry that you lost a lot of time. I know how it feels to do a lot of work, and then have it all torn down in minutes... It can be extremely frustrating, but, unfortunately, that is the bad part that comes with editing here. Don't worry about the warnings above, I think you've demonstrated that your intention wasn't to spam, so you don't have to worry about being blocked or anything. Everyone makes mistakes :) Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 23:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
