[edit] Colorado

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Colorado. 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. --JFreeman (talk) 00:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Question about the warning on this page

You wrote on my talk page:

Hello,
I'm a bit confused. You sent me a message about puting inappropriate links under Colorado, but I didn't add any. If you have more information, I would like track down the problem on my side and identify who, if anyone, has been abusing the wiki.
I appreciate any efforts to keep the content clean and free of marketing and I want to make sure everyone here is adhering to that.
Thanks.

Bob, thank you for following up on this. The edit that I removed, and which triggered the warning, can be found here. As you can see, the link was to a company called "nor-col.com", which sells (according to their website) "enviromentally [sic] friendly clothing that gives back to the northern colorado wilderness".

I can't tell you who made the edit, but it came from 63.227.22.238 at 4:54 PM MST on January 19th. From the edit history for your IP address, I can tell that this edit was the only problem we saw from your address.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you, and thank you again for your interest in keeping Wikipedia clean.
