This message is regarding the page New Jersey. Please do not add commercial links &mdash; or links to your own private websites &mdash; to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. Note that Wikipedia may see print or DVD publication, so we want more content, not more web links. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 22:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 21:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to New Jersey. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 21:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 04:01, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Your behaviour is strange and immature... There are links right now to commercial sites on the New Jersey page and the Addison's Disease page and you have not removed them. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by TELEPLEXUS (talk &bull; contribs) 08:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC).
 * If you see any commercial links, feel free to be bold and remove them yourself. But regardless of what may be in the articles now, adding links to your own website is generally frowned upon. However, if you really do feel that a link to your site would be an asset to an article, discuss it on the article's talk page and try to build consensus. Also, see this page for guidelines on external links. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 15:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I tried that but as you wrote "it is considered vandalism" so it seems someone in an official capacity needs to do that. As wonderful as the original New Jersey content from Jersey Spin would be to your readers I understand.  What I don't understand is shutting your readers out from the free support on Addison's Disease.Net  Addison's Disease is rare and our members have witnessed and experienced profound victories in wellness through communicating with one another.  I don't see how that detracts from your efforts... it makes it all the more valueable by giving your readers a place to turn for real support. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by TELEPLEXUS (talk &bull; contribs) 11:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC).
 * The above comment about vandalism is referring to this edit you made to New Jersey, not the addition of links we're talking about here. Again, Wikipedia works by consensus, so if you find that your edits are being reverted often, hammer it out on the article's talk page &mdash; there isn't a need for official intervention except in the most extraordinary cases. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 17:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * So if I edit any commercial links out like I did then that is vandalisim? Doesn't appear at all that the intention is to keep out all commerical sites as a policy.  There are commerical links on both the New Jersey page and the Addison's page and they never disappear.  If they aren't selectively allowed then they should just be edited out as ruthlessly as our contributions were deleted by you.  You removed all ours and the others should be removed too.  One is even a commercial magazine and another charges fees to join. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TELEPLEXUS (talk • contribs) 19:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Your assertion that WP:EL doesn't preclude the addition of commercial links in all cases is correct. In the cases where such links do exist, it is by consensus. The fact that your additions were reverted not just by me, but by no fewer than five different people clearly indicates that consensus does not exist for such additions. The proper way to build consensus, as I mentioned earlier, would be to start a discussion on the relevant article's talk page. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 01:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's clear that there are agendas here other than building a great resource. Deleting a free support resource and information for those who have and are affected by Addison's Disease given the fact that exceptions are made demonstrates favoritism at the least and collusion at the worst.  So you are telling me that a few users got together to remove a free support resource for a rare disease?  There is other stuff going on here.  Appears as though you have your commerical links you have made exceptions for and a few users gang up to keep others out otherwise there would be a formal fair review process for inclusion.  The deletion of Addison's Disease.Net was especially revealing to your true intent. It's totally biased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TELEPLEXUS (talk • contribs) 22:02, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * My only response would be to reiterate what I said before, and also advise you to read WP:AGF and WP:TINC. I sincerely hope that you won't be dissuaded by this matter, and that you'll stay and continue to contribute to Wikipedia. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. &mdash;chair lunch dinner&trade; (talk) 13:57, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
