[edit] Linkspam

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Bill Murray do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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, then 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. Your edit history indicates you have a single purpose to add promotional links to a single web site to Wikipedia articles. Please stop, and read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. In the future, discuss your links on the article talk pages. -Amatulic 14:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Bill Murray. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -Amatulic 20:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
