[edit]Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Concept art, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, see:

[edit]
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Concept art. 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. Fences&Windows 09:55, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Concept art, 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.
