March 2013

Hello, I'm John of Reading. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Google logo, because it seemed to be 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. John of Reading (talk) 21:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Portal:Current events/2013 March 11. 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. The current events pages need respected high-quality news sources please. John of Reading (talk) 22:19, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Portal:Current events/2013 March 11. 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. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:37, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Portal:Current events/2013 March 11, 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. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:48, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Drmies (talk) 00:03, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
