  Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Amphibian. 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. You have now added that link 13 times, in almost as many articles. They have all been reverted, and will keep on being reverted, and this behavior will get you blocked to boot. Perhaps you should reconsider? — Coren (talk) 02:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

You deleted some external links that were very pertinent with the subject. For example with amphibian the website I propose has many information on amphibian that other sites do not have (they are updating it at the momment to put more info). Please check the link carefully before deleting it. Alos the links I proposed are not for commercial purpose since they are npn profit organzation that have great information/articles...etc on the subject. What do you think? Thanks Best, Paul

Promotion does not have to be for a commercial enterprise to be verboten. Wikipedia is not to be used for advocacy, no matter how well-intended. Posting an external link to dozens of pages like you did is considered spam, and disruptive, pretty much regardless of what that external link is.
 

This is your last warning.
The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did with Ex-situ conservation, you will be blocked from editing. — Coren (talk) 14:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply


Reply: Please take a look at the wildlife page and look at the external link list, and the tell me why World Wildlife Fund (just to take an example) should be there and not the one I proposed???? You should also reject all those organizations that are listed in the external link of wildlife because they contain similar information as the one I proposed. What do you think? Please answer

No, actually, there are no cases where external links should be added, except as reference material (which the site you are spamming is not). There is the occasional rare case where an external link may be added, but this case is not it. I, and indeed other editors, will remove spammy links as we see them. — Coren (talk) 00:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
 

This is your last warning.
The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.
