User talk:72.24.123.4

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome anonymous user. While I appreciate your efforts to contribute to Wikipedia, the term "Your everything guide to..." is easily misconstrued as spam. While I have decided (and am currently undoing the edits I made as a result of this miscontruance) that this is not in fact spam, I ask you to alter the wording to something with less of a spammy tone. Guide to the ____ area, etc. Happy editing. Someguy1221 05:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Garden City, Idaho. 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.  DangerousNerd  talk 01:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Owyhee County, Idaho. 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.  DangerousNerd  talk 01:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Marsing, Idaho, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.  DangerousNerd  talk 01:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
You have been reported.  DangerousNerd  talk 01:55, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Alison ☺ 01:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
