So that I can better understand what I read in the Categorization Guidelines, could you please further explain specifically which categories do not coincide with the article?

Thanks, CuteB33

Thank you for your guidance; I am new to Wikipedia and was not aware of this. I am not affiliated with the external site I was linking to, but will be cautious about what links I am posting to going forward.

Thank you again for your help, CuteB33 CuteB33 (talk) 21:08, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in The Art Institute of California – Hollywood, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Gene Omission (talk) 19:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Art Institute of Atlanta has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://twitter.com/Art_Institutes (matching the regex rule \btwitter\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page The Art Institute of Austin 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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.

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to The Art Institute of California – Los Angeles, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Non-existent categories

Please stop adding non-existent categories to all of these (related) art-school pages. Please revert and correct the remaining ones, or I will do it. If you would like to create those categories and populate them with all the relevant schools, that is one thing, but adding long lists of cats to only the pages of one business (the same owner runs all of these schools) is a WP:COI and repeatedly doing it is disruptive and borders on vandalism. Thank you. Gene Omission (talk) 17:38, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please read and understand Wikipedia:Categorization. After, feel free to ask questions. Gene Omission (talk) 18:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adhering to the rules in your most recent edit. I don't know if adding all of those categories is really needed, but at least they are real ones, and I'm not going to revert you. Please be aware of WP:COI as well, but in general, have a good time editing Wikipedia. Gene Omission (talk) 19:25, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because 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.

Which external link is inappropriate?

Thanks, CuteB33 CuteB33 (talk) 20:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you had read WP:ELNO (which I noted in my edits), you would have seen this: Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace and Facebook), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter feeds, USENET newsgroups or e-mail lists. I mean, really. I am trying to be nice here, but you appear to have no reason for editing Wikipedia except to spam it with links to this set of commercial art schools. Are you employed by or in any other way affiliated with these schools or their corporate owner? Gene Omission (talk) 20:37, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
