  Hello, I'm Jmcw37. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added because it seemed 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. Thanks. jmcw (talk) 07:59, 15 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I also recommend that you read Wikipedia:Spam#Bookspam. Adding an encyclopedia to "Further reading" without a page or article reference is bookspam. Better would be to use the encyclopedia as a proper reference in the article. Thanks! jmcw (talk) 07:59, 15 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Samurai. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website 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. Oda Mari (talk) 09:11, 16 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Bushido, you may be blocked from editing. Oda Mari (talk) 09:14, 16 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Bugei jūhappan, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Oda Mari (talk) 09:18, 16 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
