Inappropriate external links
editPlease do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.--cj | talk 07:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Your article has been deleted
editSome of the people, places or things you have written about in the article [[Nick Twiney]] may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable, with reference to reliable published sources. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. --cj | talk 07:13, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Blocked
editYou have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy by persistently adding promotional material. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by replying here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}}. You may also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list instead, or mail [email protected]. --cj | talk 07:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Re: Request to be unblocked
editThe block I placed on your account was 3 hours only and has now expired, as evidenced by your editing of my talk page. The details of how to respond to the block were contained within my message on your talk page, so you should not have had to go looking. The reason I blocked you was so that you would take heed of my warnings, which you apparently still have not, considering your edits following the block's expiration. It is irrelevant whether your site is for-profit, not-for-profit, or for pygmy hippopotamuses — the fact of the matter is you are misusing Wikipedia to promote your site in contravention of our external links guideline. In other words, you hold a conflict of interest and are spamming Wikipedia.
As for the biographies you have posted, these articles have been again speedily deleted under criterion A7: Unremarkable people, groups, companies and websites. It is important that you be aware that Wikipedia has a basic notability threshold and policies requiring all articles be verifiable and written in a neutral point of view. Please edit Wikipedia constructively, specifically in an area outside your conflict of interest. Thanks,--cj | talk 15:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
