January 2009[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Children's Museum of Manhattan 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. StarM 02:47, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

You've inserted links to two organizations, nyc-arts.org and nyckidsarts.org, to over 40 New York-related pages. You've been previously warned that these links constitute spam and that continuing to insert these links onto these pages will result in your blocking. This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
