Welcome to Wikipedia!!![edit]

Hello JohnLauritsen! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. If you decide that you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary.

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 as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked indefinitely without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you.

Additional note: Please take the time to read the above. If you continue, I will be force to block your account. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 02:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

deletions[edit]

Copy of my reply to your message on my talk page:

Will reply on your talk page as well, but yes, what you did was a violation of our spam and conflict of interest guidelines. It was posted at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Reference to one's own books. Wikiepedia is not a place to promote your books or your publishing company. We don't appreciate people spamming our encyclopedia. I understand you're new, but being new should cause you to read up on our policies/guidelines before doing something this extensive.
