Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to The Next Step Realty. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, as you did at User talk:Toddst1, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. WP:CIVIL is not optional. Toddst1 (talk) 01:31, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

In your post at 22:46, 7 February 2011, you expressed frustration, saying "Also as per your dismissal of Next Step Realty as being as relavent as someones Big Toe, obviously you aren't in touch with reality, considering Next Step Realty is one of the biggest if not, the biggest up and coming real estate referral company's in the world."

There are currently two articles on Wikipedia advertising Next Step Realty. As you know from notices placed on the two articles, the articles were proposed for deletion a week ago. The discussions can be seen on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Next Step Realty‎ and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Belton Baker‎. This was a perfect opportunity for you to explain why the articles should be kept, and presumably why they should have all the advertising material you and other editors placed in the articles. So far, neither you nor any of the other editors who contributed to the articles have taken up this opportunity.--Toddy1 (talk) 06:41, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 7 days for Utterly uncalled for personal attacks, the homophobic nature of which requires attitional protection of the project. Once the block has expired, you're welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
