[edit] Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Galway. 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. (As per repeated warnings here, here and here.) Consider investing effort in getting your site listed on DMOZ or elsewhere. Don't look at Wikipedia as a means of driving traffic. Thank you.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Castle Hackett, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:35, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
