Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Carpet, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:19, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Carpet. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:20, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Carpet. 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 may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:21, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Carpet. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:23, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

As it has become apparent that your account will be used solely for unconstructive editing, you have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest it by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} to this page. Kuru (talk) 00:47, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
