Please do not add commercial links — or links to your own private websites — to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. Note that Wikipedia may see print or DVD publication, so we want more content, not more web links. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. -- Peyna 16:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. FreplySpang (talk) 13:55, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. FreplySpang (talk) 16:22, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. FreplySpang (talk) 14:16, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Please do not keep undoing other people's edits without discussing them first. This is considered impolite and unproductive. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks.

[edit] more after the block

This message is regarding the page Thumbshot. Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. --Krich (talk) 10:57, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk pages

Please sign your comments on talk pages, by typing four tildes (~~~~) after your comment.

Also, please do not edit other users' comments on talk pages. You are free to make your own comments, but you shouldn't change what other people have said, except in extreme circumstances. Peyna 17:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thumbshot

Please stop reversing the reverts by other editors. Please use the Talk:Thumbshot page to make your case. Otherwise, you will likely find yourself blocked from Wikipedia. Wrathchild 16:09, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked for 1 week

Due to further spamming of articles with Girafa.com links, you have been blocked for one week. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:04, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spamming again

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 17:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Similar activity taking place by User:85.64.37.105, I put up some sockpuppet notices, since it's the exact same activity as before with respect to those pages (changing others' comments on talk pages, adding the same spam, etc.) Peyna 18:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] February 2006 - Stop removing information

So, not content that your spam link couldn't exist in the Thumbshot article, now you are on a campaign to remove a link to the Copernic article. That's also vandalism. Knock it off. —Wrathchild (talk) 13:26, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

Sigh. More spam. More blocks. Three more weeks. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] September 2006

And again with the commercial links. Please stop. —Wrathchild (talk) 12:44, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Blocked for two months. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:48, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam, again

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. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Note: continue spamming and your blocks will only become longer and longer. I will also personally request that your link is blacklisted. If it is blacklisted, it will be impossible for the link to be added anywhere on Wikipedia. Tread carefully here. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
