Hello, I'm Lone boatman. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added, because to me it seemed 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. Lone boatman (talk) 12:00, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. [1] MrOllie (talk) 14:27, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi I understand the reasons for my editing ban. I did not keep myself as informed on editing policy as I should have done. I would like to request that you would reconsider my ban, and allow me to start contributing to the Wikipedia knowledge base. I wish to make some small contributions to Wiki that are unrelated to my personal website that I think would improve readability and referencing in a number areas of interest of mine. In retrospect, I am in a better position to realize the harm in unrestrained posting of links. I will not do it again. A little leniency on this occasion would be much appreciated.

I'm unblocking your account on the basis that you won't continue to add spam links to articles. PhilKnight (talk) 18:55, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
