February 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 as a platform 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....Modernist (talk) 23:13, 26 February 2011 (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....Modernist (talk) 12:47, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to François Boucher. 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 may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. 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....Modernist (talk) 22:05, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Guerillero | My Talk 04:37, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

all-art.org[edit]

The issue is whether or not this link is or is not considered to be a spamlink - www.all-art.org/. I have asked someone from the the spam project to comment [1] and here [2]...Modernist (talk) 13:04, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the comment that characterizes your behavior as spamming. Basically your additions to the articles have little to no editorial relationship or relevancy to the actual article. Consequently your edits were removed and labeled irrelevant...Modernist (talk) 18:29, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand that adding lots of links to the same site is considered to be spamming. However, if the site happens to be the most comprehensive site about the history of art in the internet, how this amounts to the "little to no editorial relationship or relevancy to the actual article" is beyond me. A link to the complete biography and works of an artist from the Wikipedia article about this artist is irrelevant ? Just because it happens to be linked to the same site ? Using this logic you can say that millions of people linking their content to Wikipedia are all wrong, spamming and irrelevant just because Wikipedia happened to be the most comprehensive encyclopedia on earth. Please, show some respect to other people's work. Otherwise, Wikipedia will be soon regarded as elitist and snobbish.

I suggest that you learn more about editing here before adding anymore links, thanks...Modernist (talk) 00:16, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an answer to my question. I would like to hear the answer before I learn anything else. Why would I even start learning anything about Wikipedia if Wikipedia does not want me to edit it in any way.

Suit yourself...Modernist (talk) 00:35, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I was talking to an adult. Well, too bad for Wikipedia if these are her editors and rulers. In any case the fact that you are avoiding my question proves that I am right and you have nothing to tell.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
