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 that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. 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. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Pak21 15:13, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --Pak21 15:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop. If you continue spamming you will be blocked from editing. --Pak21 15:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to HP-41, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. --Pak21 12:14, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
