Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Law of Attraction 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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 article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ♦ Jongleur100 ♦ talk 18:33, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Colon cleansing. Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion. Thank you.

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. OhNo itsJamie Talk 19:05, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Not sure I understand the problem with the external links I added, could someone explain. The other two links that were already there are identical in nature to the one I added, i.e. they go to a website where there is related information and associated products are sold. I even modified the colon cleanse link to go to an article I wrote at Scribd. Now I have someone warning me and calling me a spammer. I have no problem with your rules, quote from above "Inappropriate links include links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that serve as advertising or promotion." as long as the same rules apply to the other links already on the page in question.


 * Please read WP:Spam where you will find the following sentence:
 * "Inclusion of one spam link is not a reason to include another. Many times users can be confused by the removal of spam links because other links that could be construed as spam have been added to the article and not yet removed. The inclusion of a spam link should not be construed as an endorsement of the spam link, nor should it be taken as a reason or excuse to include another." The links you object to have now been removed. Hope this explains why your own link was removed.  ♦ Jongleur100 ♦  talk 21:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
