Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product.

Comment
QSR Magazine is an industry/trade publication that focuses on fast food restaurants and is acceptable as a reliable secondary source. The contributor's additions could be considered appropriate if you look at it from the perspective that they cover the subjects he tagged. I do not believe the editor was spamming for the magazine, but was trying to add external links to related articles found in that publication and was a little overzealous.

However, it is more appropriate that these links be used to contribute properly cited information to the articles and referenced than added as external links.

Since he has been advised of the policy issues and if he continues to add these links to articles, I would have no problem requesting a block on the account.
