November 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Louise Glover 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, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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. —C.Fred (talk) 17:55, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

December 2009[edit]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Louise Glover. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:22, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to International Association of Athletics Federations. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:28, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ben Johnson (sprinter). 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 last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Louise Glover, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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. —C.Fred (talk) 18:28, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
