Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Franklin County, Pennsylvania 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 for advertising or promotion. Since 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. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 16:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to James Buchanan. 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. Since 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 rather than re-adding it. Thank you. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Please be aware

Right now, it looks like your account only exists for the purpose of promoting your own web site. That would put you in violation of Wikipedia's rules against WP:SPAM, regardless of the merits of your web site. If your web site really is the best available source of information on the subject, I suggest that you suggest it on an article talk page instead of adding it yourself. If you are interested in improving the encyclopedia, you can do that by adding content about Franklin County to articles, citing it with the best sources of information available. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree. See also the Conflict of Interest guideline. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 17:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
