Two people on one account?

Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears from statements made on your userpage that there is more than one person operating this Wikipedia account. Is that the case? If so, this is a violation of the username policy, see WP:NOSHARE, and I would encourage you both to create separate individual accounts for each person. Cirt (talk) 11:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Link spam

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.

Please stop posting your link spam (to quotes-famous-artists.org) on artist pages. Feel free to contribute the quotes that you have collected on your art sales site, by copying those quotes to the Wikiquote site, and - if not yet present - add a wikiquote template into those articles on Wikipedia.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Barbara Hepworth. 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.

There is no advertising and there is no promotion. And no striving for better ranking. If you look the content you can find yourself that there are good quotes. And stop that accusing of spamming so easy and fast. Spamming for what????Benfo-Dutch (talk) 00:09, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Fernand Léger, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 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.

Please copy the selected quotes and place them on Wikiquote and wikipedia, than the problem is over, isn't it?? They are real fine quality quotes.Benfo-Dutch (talk) 13

That is the advice you were given above, to copy them to the Wikiquote site (not Wikipedia), by editor Whaledad. We are all volunteers here — if you believe your quotes have genuine value, you should post them at Wikiquote. Do not post more links to your site in related articles or you may be blocked from editing. --CliffC (talk) 16:54, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
