September 2009[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Piccadilly Circus. 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 the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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. Kbthompson (talk) 09:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to St Paul's Cathedral. 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.

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to London Eye, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. Kbthompson (talk) 09:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should note, repeatedly adding spam links will get particular websites blocked from being added to wikipedia. Thanks Kbthompson (talk) 09:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
