Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Wicked (musical). Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Najaf has been reverted.
Your edit here to Najaf was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://najaftheheaven.wordpress.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 09:11, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to The Lion King (musical). While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion.

Wikipedia is not for spamlinks or promotion
[edit]Sorry, but I have deleted your user page. Wikipedia is a project to build an encyclopedia, and that is all it is. In order to keep to that core mission, there is a long list of things that Wikipedia is not - it is not a social-networking site or blog, and it is absolutely not for advertising or promotion of any kind.
User pages are for the volunteers, who are here to build the encyclopedia, to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia work, in order to assist communication within the project. They are not for substantial content... unrelated to Wikipedia, and certainly not for eight links to your employer Askaticket and five more to your commercial blogs.
All of your other edits seem to consist of adding links to blogs and the like. Wikipedia's policy on external links is at WP:EL - note particularly the sections WP:ELNO and WP:EL#ADV. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings; and persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
If you are interested in making constructive contributions to the encyclopedia, you are welcome, but if your interest is only commercial blogging and addition of spamlinks, I am afraid Wikipedia is not the site for you, and if you continue you may be blocked from editing.
