  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Ernest Hemingway 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, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. 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. freshacconci talktalk 02:51, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ernest Hemingway. 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 the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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. freshacconci talktalk 02:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Further self-promotion and vandalism noted

edit

The systematic and deliberate corruption of established links to references for Jim Gary has been made by this editor in successive entries. The corruptions disabled the reference links maliciously and has been reversed. A link to the self-promoting commercial site associated with the editor was inserted to attract visitors to an associated site which also has been reversed. The self-promoting link leads to a site that posts numerous videos and materials that are copyright infringements of national and local news and broadcast media. A history of complaints against this editor and the related commercial sites associated with the editor exists, including a complaint by the site (whose links now have been corrupted in Wikipedia), that led to the site being banned from display in results by Google. Enforcement of Wikipedia regulations will follow any repetition. Please refrain from such edits. ----83d40m (talk) 22:07, 17 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
