Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Oxford do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. 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. Thank you. andy 22:12, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I see that you added links to many other articles. I've removed them all because Wikipedia must not be used for promotional purposes and if you try to do so you run the risk of being blocked from editing articles. andy 22:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Bath, Somerset. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because 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.

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Truro, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. ''You were warned back in September yet you persist in adding the same spam link. Please stop or you will be banned'' Simple Bob (talk) 10:25, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continuing to add spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Ged UK  10:32, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I am not an admin, but let me add my two cents. You seem to be a single purpose account (WP:SPA) setup just to add a single external link to as many articles as possible. Those links add little or no value to the sites you added them to, so fail WP:ELNO on the very first of the listed criteria (as well as criteria #4 and #5). You were warned to stop (by me) and yet you carried on adding the links to three more sites after that. The only possible site where your link might add some value is Park and ride but even that is questionable. You say that the site is backed by councils yet there is no indication of this anywhere on the site. You say that the site is voluntarily run, yet it contains (in my opinion) an objectionable amount of advertising. If you are in any way connected with the site then you need to be aware of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy (WP:COI and WP:EL). Bottom line, I think the admins were right in banning you and would object to your account being reinstated. --Simple Bob (talk) 09:25, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
