Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Grand Canyon 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Drenaline  Talk 20:56, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Note: Cool link, looks like a great hike, but links to personal blogs aren't permitted under WP:ELNO. Hit up my Talk Page if you have any questions! --  Drenaline   Talk 20:58, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Please stop adding advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Vsmith (talk) 16:21, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
