User talk:Steveblevins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear Steveblevins,
Unfortunately, using your e-mail address as your username is not a good idea. Wikipedia content is extensively copied and the site itself is one of the most visited sites in the world. Any edit you make on Wikipedia will have your username attached to it, and using your email address will make you a tempting target for spammers. We recommend that you change your username at Wikipedia:Changing username in order to prevent abuse.
If you need any help, simply contact me on my talk page, or go to Wikipedia:Help desk. Another option is to place {{helpme}} on your own talk page, and someone will come shortly to help. Remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). Again, welcome! - (aeropagitica) at 20:03, Wednesday June 11, 2008 (UTC)
[edit] August 2007
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. 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 rather than re-adding it. Thank you. MER-C 12:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] You are overdoing it
Please stop adding ACR links on all sorts of medical articles. We are an encyclopedia, not a patient information resource. Please see this policy for further information. Rather than posting links to other websites, your help is appreciated in updating Wikipedia's own content and making it authoritative and reliable. JFW | T@lk 15:40, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
