Your edits to a.o. Indigenous languages of the Americas

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Indigenous languages of the Americas 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. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 15:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read some of the policies and guidelines linked above. You seem to have a good resource at hand, but the way you are adding it is not productive and not what wikipedia is about. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 15:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I answered to your question on my talkpage. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 16:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lakota language has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bstthomas\.edu\b' (link(s): http://www.stthomas.edu/academics/schools/spssod.html http://www.stthomas.edu/libraries/ireland/default.html) .

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. 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!

this is quite blatant ('approved', by whom?). Please discuss first on talkpages or with a wikiproject. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 16:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I asked you to discuss .. these link additions in this way are not helpful:

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to University of St. Thomas (Minnesota), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 16:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
