[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Mike and the Mad Dog 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. - auburnpilot talk 17:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit]I encourage you to read Wikipedia:Vandalism so that you have a better understanding of what is considered vandalism; my edits do not fall under Wikipedia's definition. You, however, are attempting to use Wikipedia as a vehicle for advertising your message board and fan site. That is against policy, and if you continue in this manner, I will personally block you from editing. People who continually spam Wikipedia will have their links black-listed, and prohibited from appearing anywhere on our site. Material is required to be reliably sourced and relevant to the article's subject. An unauthorized fan site does not meet the requirements, and is specifically listed as a type of site that is to be avoided under our external link policy. Please stop. - auburnpilot talk 13:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- In response to your message, I assure you it is not the job of administrators to determine what content should remain. I know this because I am an administrator. I have, however, asked another user for his opinion on the situation. Also, these messages are not private or threatening. My messages to you on this page can be seen by everyone and informing you that continued violation of policy will lead to a block is not a threat; it is a fact. Before continuing, I will wait for the third opinion that I've requested. - auburnpilot talk 14:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
