Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then 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. Carl.bunderson 04:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although Wikipedia is an encyclopedia anyone can edit, there are still policies and guidelines for how editors may contribute appropriately, as you see above. In addition to running afoul of the external links policy, you have also chosen an inappropriate username. The username policy enumerates certain inappropriate usernames including: 4. Promotional usernames that attempt to promote a group or company on Wikipedia, including but not limited to:

* Usernames that match the name of a company or group, especially if the user promotes it. I would suggest you begin the process to change your username so that you may continue to edit without worrying that other editors might report your username as a policy violation which could result in a block of your account.
