[edit] Regarding edits made during January 10, 2007 (UTC) to Basingstoke

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. If this is an IP address, and it is shared by multiple users, ignore this warning if you did not make any unconstructive edits. Bubba HoTep 12:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Interesting rumor on some of the black hat SEO forums -- Google and others may or may not be using Wikipedia's openly published m:Spam blacklist as an input in calculating their own blacklist. Then again, it's just a rumor -- depends on whom you believe. Cheers,
