February 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Spice Girls 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. Since 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. NeilN talk ♦ contribs 16:47, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Spice Girls. 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.

- You're arguing semantics. Web page = website. There's a *reason* why the article doesn't have links to the hundreds/thousands of Spice Girl fansites. --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 17:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- No, you've added that link twice before and both times it was removed by other editors with "spam" appearing in the edit summary. Clearly, there are others who feel that your link does not meet guidelines. --NeilN talk ♦ contribs 17:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 17:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
