Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, 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 mere directory 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, then please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Re: Changes undone?
You added links for a company's site to multiple articles and created an article about that company's software, which, whether or not you work for that company, qualifies as spamming. That's why I specifically targeted your edits. (Please refer to WP:SPAM and WP:EL for guidelines.) If you feel the other external links you referred to should be removed, you have the power to do so yourself. As for the deletion of the article you created, I merely marked it for an admin's attention; the admin is the one who decided that it qualified for deletion. Precious Roy 13:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: Part of your edits to Rusty tussock moth‎ were also removed due to spam concerns here. Precious Roy 13:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Liquid Technologies
A tag has been placed on Liquid Technologies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please visit the article for details.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Codf1977 (talk) 20:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of XML Studio
A tag has been placed on XML Studio, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
