Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Alcoholism. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Alcoholism. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Gwernol 20:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did in Alcoholism, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. Gwernol 20:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

How is appropriate content that relates to the topic of the page and is entirely relevant and helpful spam? Learn your definitions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The101program (talk • contribs).


 * Spam, as defined by the Wikipedia community, is content that is designed to promote a product, service, or company. Adding a link to your own website (as evidenced by your sharing a username with the target link) is in violation of those policies.  --  Merope  20:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:SPAM and WP:EL to find out about the Wikipedia community's definition of spam, which is the only one that's releveant here. Thanks, Gwernol 20:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Please also note that simply logging out of this account and editing from your IP address is not acceptable. Both your account and your IP will be blocked from editing if you continue to add your spam link to the Alcoholism article. Thanks, Gwernol 21:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
