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. 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. Your edits so far seem to have been exclusively designed to promote a particular dance school by adding external links to Wikipedia articles. If the school is Notable you can consider creating an article for it. Mirokado (talk) 13:29, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Simone Clarke. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mirokado (talk) 14:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

I have been "assuming good faith" when removing the promotional links you have been adding to Wikipedia, but if you continue to do so despite detailed edit summaries explaining that this is against Wikipedia guidelines, I will have to start regarding your edits as "vandalism". Apart from WP:External links you should also look at Single-purpose account. It appears that so far your account is being used only to promote this one dance school.

As far as being consistent is concerned, if I notice a similar pattern of edits elsewhere I will correct them too. I am certainly not going to go through all dance company articles adding links to the next employer of every dancer mentioned!

Incidentally, the standard messages which have appeared here are part of a response to inappropriate edits. I will continue with them if it seems necessary but I would prefer to talk nicely to you... Mirokado (talk) 14:46, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
