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. -Will Beback · † · 22:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I am very sorry that you feel I have added an innapproiate link. What link were you referring to? Extreme outdoors 22:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- The links you were adding to the article on states that lead back to a blog. Blogs are not reliable sources. Also, you weren't even checking to see if the info was already in the articles. -Will Beback · † · 22:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- One account that kept adding links to that blog, User:West wikipedia, has already been blocked. If links keep being inappropriately added to Wikipedia that website may be blacklisted, preventing any linking to it from this site. -Will Beback · † · 22:52, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
My apologies. I didnt realize that website has had innapproiate links placed to it. Thanks for the heads-up! Extreme outdoors 23:33, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- You've been blocked as a returning spammer. If these links are added again they'll be nominated for blacklisting. -Will Beback · † · 23:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Note, this user appears to be a sock of West wikipedia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). In addition to spamming artices withthe same weblinks as that editor, he has been using fraudulent edit summaries to hide his activities.[1][2]. -Will Beback · † · 04:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
