[edit] Spamming

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in Omarion. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines. 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 if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. --Yamla 16:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. --Yamla 16:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:36, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

You asked: "I am unclear why it is not okay to post links to my video websites, blastro, yallwire, and roxwel, on music artist pages. All my sites have quality news and videos regarding these artists. MTV runs ads on their site, yet their links don't seem to be "SPAM". Can you please explain how my site is not a valid resource for information/video for these artists. I have read wikipedia's guidelines and I am still unclear. I appreciate your time."

It's not clear to me which websites you are talking about here. It's not appropriate to link to music videos at all. This is because of copyright violations and because in almost all cases, the video does not add anything of encyclopedic quality to the article. This specifically includes sites such as MySpace. Note, though, that a large number of articles do currently link to music videos on, say, MySpace and YouTube. This does not make this acceptable. Such links should be found and removed. Additionally, even if the sites themselves were appropriate, it is inappropriate for you to link to a site you run. Please see WP:EL and WP:SPAM, also WP:NOT. --Yamla 18:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
