Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection 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, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. —C.Fred (talk) 16:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —C.Fred (talk) 16:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy because your account is being used only for spam, advertising, or promotion. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below.

From an email I received from tradetotravel@[redacted].com:


 * Hello, my name is [redacted] and I am the president of "Trade to Travel" (www.TradeToTravel.com). I would like to know why I have been blocked and am unable to make edits.  The message I received said it's because I've posted spam, but this is not true.  Please unblock me.

First, all of the edits (example) from this account were to add links for your site to article(s). That is considered spam by definition (see the linked text in the block notice).

Second, your username is in violation of the username policy. Corporate names shall not be used as account names.

If you can explain—on this talk page, which you still have privileges to edit–how you intend to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, I will consider unblocking you. (Note that your first action after unblocking would have to be to request a change of username; I'll be glad to assist you with that later.) Note that promoting your company does not fall within the realm of constructive editing. —C.Fred (talk) 02:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
