[edit]Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page The Duchess (film), seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Vicky Cristina Barcelona. 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. LeaveSleaves 20:53, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to In Ear Park. 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.

A tag has been placed on Splice Today, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}}
on the top of Splice Today and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Eeekster (talk) 21:27, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Blocked
[edit]You appear to only be interested in spamming links to a non-notable web magazine and attacking our editors, so I have placed a block of 72 hours on your account. Please contribute more constructively when the block expires. Thanks. GlassCobra 21:35, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
