[edit]Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to J. Maarten Troost. 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.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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.

- Per WP:EL and WP:NOTLINK, Wikipedia is not a place to collect external links. If everyone added a link - and only a link - to every interview with every celebrity, then every such article would soon be nothing but. If you want to use such pages as references for some content within the article, that is different, but simply placing a link is inappropriate. Wknight94 talk 16:14, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at User talk:Wknight94, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Wknight94 talk 16:23, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest
[edit]We have a pretty strong conflict of interest rule around here so even if your links might be desirable, you are not allowed to add material about yourself or links to your site. Here's the formal notice:
- If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
