Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly.

April 2010
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, as you did to North Padre Island. 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. nsaum75 ¡שיחת! &lrm; 01:43, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to South Padre Island. 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. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. nsaum75 ¡שיחת! &lrm; 01:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Additions
The magazine link you keep adding to articles constitutes promotion of a specific magazine, especially since it doesn't state why the magazine is important to the topic nor is it being used as a source in the article.

Are you affiliated with the magazine? -- nsaum75 ¡שיחת! &lrm; 01:59, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Help
Am trying to add a legitimate media. I keep being labled as spam.


 * Hi there.

 * The link you added does not conform to the policy on external links.
