From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. 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. Ryan Postlethwaite 10:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.

Indeed. Stop spamming. Even after being warned by Ryan you apparently persist in distributing your spam to Napoleon related topics... -- fdewaele, 16 May 2007, 14:34.

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 as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.

The links went to 19th century engravings related to Napoleon and the relevant battles. The engravings are part of the first French Musem of the French History, being a project of the reigh of Louis-Philippe. The engravings added value to the Wikipedia articles and are part of an international museum project to visualize the nineteenth century. Thanks, Robert Liszt.

That was not my experience. I think there are some problems here.
When I followed the link, all I found was a web site under construction and some text taken from Wikipedia without proper attribution in violation of our GFDL license. In any event, please refer to the following:
  1. Conflict of Interest Guideline
    You may not link to your own site but you can suggest it to others on the talk pages of articles. If they think it's appropriate, they'll add it.

  3. Spam Guideline
  4. What Wikipedia is Not
