User talk:Wellbeing1

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Wellbeing1! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 17:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to Thru-hiking 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. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Holy Land. 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.

Please stop. If you continue spamming Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 18:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you were closest to being on the right track adding your link to Israel National Trail, but I think the other pages you've tried to add it to aren't as clearly relevant. Newsaholic (talk) 18:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree that the link isn't appropriate for Backpacking (wilderness), since Backpacking is a general region-neutral article. Spamming is so abhorrent to most editors that it is almost a case of "guilty until proven innocent" for external links.  Please excuse our hypersensitivity to them:  It's a sore spot frequently poked by drive-by editors.  Adding the same external link to more than 2 or 3 articles has a high probability of being strictly for SEO or advertising purposes only. I think your link is fine on Israel National Trail.  —EncMstr (talk) 19:08, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * &diams; Not being familiar with Israel National Trail, it's hard to for me to say, but I have to admit I'm skeptical. The external site is flashy and quite commercial-looking. At the very least, the link needs to go to the INT section of the external site, not the front page. --R27182818 (talk) 17:37, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
