Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

[edit]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ecological footprint. 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. Also spammed several other pages with the same links Ckatzchatspy 09:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has very specific guidelines as to what is and is not appropriate for an external link. Unfortunately, your link doesn't meet those criteria; the fact you added the same link to a large number of pages doesn't help matters. (Furthermore, just because other (possibly bad) links exist doesn't justify adding more.) Please read through the external links guidelines, as they will help to explain the situation better - and feel free to ask if you still have questions. Thanks. --Ckatzchatspy 09:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
