From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have removed some of the links you have placed on the article for Belize because they appear to violate Wikipedia's policy against spam. Please review this page to get a clearer idea of what kind of links are appropriate. Please also note the prohibitions against conflict of interest. If you think your links are appropriate, please discuss them on the article talk pages first. Notmyrealname 16:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

To: whatever is your name - not that there is anything wrong in attempting to conceal your identity ;o)

We've reposted the link to Belize.com that you've been deleting - this time in second place if that will make you more comfortable.

You suggest we are a spam site and we find this highly offensive.

Please take some time to read a little about our background here:

Dear M.A. Romero: I have removed your link again. Wikipedia's policy against Linkspam is a bit different than people's usual understanding about "spam" as it relates to email. Basically, WP:EL clearly prohibits posting links to promote a commercial website. WP:SPAM Clearly states: "Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam." Additionally, WP:COI clearly states that "COI editing often involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote yourself or the interests of other individuals, companies, or groups. When an editor disregards the aims of Wikipedia to advance outside interests, they stand in a conflict." Inserting links to your site are in clear violation of these policies. If you insert them again, they will be deleted again, and you may face blocks and blacklisting. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a site for tourism. If you disagree with my assessment of the validity of your link, please discuss it on the talk page of the article to get the approval of other editors before inserting it again.Notmyrealname 17:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

To Mr. Romero, there is a very strict policy here on Wikipedia that basically says no legal threats, which means do not try to intimidate people. I will suggest that you immediately delete and/or remove the text on Talk:Belize that indicates that you plan on "raising funds to run a background check" and want to make this absolutely clear: ANYTHING that approaches intimidation from you again will lead to an immediate and complete block. Per Notmyrealname, this is an encyclopedia, not advertisement for your website. You have been warned. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I also see what I would consider a number of uncivil remarks from you [1] [2] [3]. Again, those types of remarks will not be tolerated. Also, I see that you uploaded Image:Xunantunich-belize.jpg. Wikipedia does not generally accept images with watermarks, so if you would like the image kept here, you would need to upload another version without it. Otherwise, it will be deleted. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Xunantunich-belize.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Xunantunich-belize.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.
