List of historical societies

Greetings. Consensus was achieved about not including external links where internal links exists for entries on the List of historical societies. Please review Talk:List of historical societies. Also, adding external websites to an organization in order to promote it can be a violation of Wikipedia's spam policy. Thanks!

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} on your user talk page or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. StarM 17:10, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
