[edit] spam warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Geologyguy (talk) 21:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 guideline 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. Geologyguy (talk) 21:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to The Bahamas. 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.

By no means I am looking for advertising, promotion or alteration of the search engine rankings. I thought the external link provided useful and currently relevant information, not only for Bahamas but for other countries. If that is still problematic, I will re-read the guidelines and try to make my contribution more appropriate. Thanks, Agonzalezb 3:48, 07 April 2008

[edit] Worldwide Governance Indicators

Adding the same templated text introducing what WGI is and generic links to multiple countries' articles is considered spam. If you wish to add the information to each country's article, please consider (1) including actual numbers, and/or (2) provide link specific to each country (such as the PDF link found on the WGI page).
