From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

I see someone has mentioned this to you before. Would you please stop adding those directory links. They're prohibited by our spam policy, and not particularly germaine to an encyclopedia.--Kchase T 21:03, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. —bbatsell ¿? 21:04, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Well three different people tell you it's Wikipedia:Spam, so what do you think? The links you inserted were to promote your website. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


I find the websites useful but they are not mine. By what basis do you accuse me of promoting MY website?

How is it that the following external links remain in place yet the links that I contribute are not acceptable?

http://www.downtowncalgary.com/ , http://calgary.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page , http://www.inwinnipeg.ca/ , http://www.ns4sale.com/ , http://www.novahomefind.com/Halifax_NS.htm , http://www.fredericton411.com/ , http://mississauga.ontariotenants.ca/ , http://www.portcredit.ca/ , http://simcoemuskoka.com/area_attractions/barrie.html , http://www.saskatoon.com/

Is this how all new contributors are treated? I do not follow what role you have and what authority you have over my contributions.
