Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Universal Life Church do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Universal Life Church. 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 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, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. GreenJoe 14:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Universal Life Church. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

Please note that it is for the editor adding information into an article, if it has already been removed, to argue the case for inclusion at the talkpage. You may wish to make your representations once this block expires. LessHeard vanU 20:03, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments: 24 hours


This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "My edits were made in good will and they were reverted for no apparent reason, I assumed this to be general anon abuse and thereby restored the said changes since there was no reason given towards their removal and none was given when asked until I was finally blocked for it. Once I found out that it was infact in violation of rules and also that they are unaffiliated I stood down and then found a block on my page before I could be given the chance to peacefully surrender."

Decline reason: "You were give multiple warnings here [1], [2] saying why the link you were adding was inappropriate. You may edit again when the block expires (it is only 24 hours). Note that adding the link again to the article in question will result in a longer block especially as consensus has determined the link should not be added. — Mr.Z-man 03:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.
