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 Crate 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Oli Filth 23:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Crate. 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.

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Box, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.

Your block has since expired; read your user talk page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Talk:Winepine ) for your warnings that led up to the block. Inappropriate external links added by the owner of the site violate WIkipedia's spam ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:SPAM ) and conflict-of-iterest ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:COI ) policies. I'd suggest you read them to know what kind of external links are inapprpopriate for WIkipedia. Happy editing, Chris / Crazytales
