Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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. MrOllie (talk) 13:22, 8 November 2009 (UTC) [1]

Why did you delete my comment? All I did was thank you for alerting me to the guideline that I should not be putting up links to a site to which I am affiliated, explain why I had done and request that you stop deleting every link to the site from wikipedia as they were not all put up by me. Guidelines state that I am entitled to respond to a comment on my User Talk page on your one. --Youngpossum (talk) 01:26, 2 April 2010 (UTC)YoungPossum

I moved it. New talk page comments go at the bottom. - MrOllie (talk) 03:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:34, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Spamming, blacklisting, etc.

I am hopeful that the conclusion of the discussion of the blacklisting of literateur.com will be to let your site stay off the blacklist. When a site is "blacklisted", then each time an editor wants to add a link to it that editor has to seek a "whitelist" exception for the link. Frankly, very few people are likely to take so much trouble. So it will be a very good thing for your magazine not to do anything else that would be interpreted as COI spam. Whether or not it is "you", if even one more new account or IP starts its editing career by adding links to literateur, you will very likely be placed on our blacklist with little chance of getting off again.

I encourage you to read the Blacklist discussion, particularly taking seriously the words of Beetstra. Wikipedia admins have very low tolerance for what they consider COI "spam," because they have seen so much of it, some of it placed here by very well-meaning and intelligent people.
