[edit] November 2007

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Vaccination. 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 policy for further explanations. 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 rather than re-adding it. Thank you. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 14:11, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Just coming back to provide more information. Wikipedia:External links provides guidelines on external links added to articles. You might want to look at it, and if your external link complied with that policy, re-add your link. Also, you may want to create an account. TableMannersC·U·T 04:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Friendly tip on signing.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions, such as you did to User talk:TableManners. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Just another friendly tip. TableMannersC·U·T 04:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
