editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, several of your recent edits, such as the ones you made to Promotional merchandise, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted or removed. Please read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Technopat (talk) 14:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

This is your final warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page. --Technopat (talk) 15:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Please note that I have removed promotional content and only added constructive links on both pages. thank you for your well pointed out issue. Please also note that I will only add contect when it is useful to the subject.
- Thank you for your message on my talk page. I realise that while it may not be your intention, the type of links you are adding to Wikipedia are considered Wikipedia:Spam and will always be removed, no matter how authoritative they may be on a particular subject matter. I also realise the difficulty of finding suitable texts/sources on a great number of issues, and have also suffered the frustration from that, but them's the rules and the Wiki community is very clear on that. Good luck, and drop me a line if you think I can help out with any doubts. --Technopat (talk) 16:22, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
This fails our reliable sources guideline, and is clearly only a site set up to sell stuff, hence:
This is the only warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:46, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
