Welcome!
editHello, Michiganstaterecords, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Pennsylvania, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes.

Please do not use Wikipedia for affiliate marketing, such as you did in the article Pennsylvania. This is contrary to the guidelines on external links and immediately suggests that you may have a conflict of interest. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia policy to learn more about this project and how you can make a positive impact. Users who continue to use Wikipedia for affiliate marketing are likely to result in a block. Thank you. I might be wrong, but your username implies that you support state records.org Nigos (t@lk • Contribs) 09:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to South Carolina. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at History of Michigan, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. Stop adding spam links. Although that website is reputable, referencing it does not make sense: it does not cite anything, so it is considered spam. Nigos (t@lk • Contribs) 09:46, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Widr (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
