Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Marketing management do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, 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 constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 13:39, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Marketing management. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 13:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

Your reason here DanielBowling (talk) 15:48, 10 February 2012 (UTC) Could I please request to be unblocked from Wikipedia? My intention was not to spam the site, but merely to provide users with a source of information. I can however understand how the confusion ocured and please accept my appologies for this[reply]

Decline reason:

As per the comment below, and the suggestion in this unblock that it is our mistake, not your massive violation of policies. I see no understanding that you spammed this project, and no promise that you will not add such links again. As such, in order to protect the project I have no choice but to decline (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:55, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Everyone makes mistakes. My worry is that you totally disregarded the notices and warnings on this page to continue posting the links. Do you understand that, if unblocked, you would be unable to post external links in this manner? UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 15:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am truly apologetic for my repeated abuse of the spamming guidelines, it was completely my mistake and almost inexcusable. I appreciate that this has been viewed as spamming and I have reviewed the spamming policy and realise that I breached not only the spamming guidelines but the terms and conditions that I agreed to when the account was created. Rest assured I will not add such links to Wikipedia again.On this occasion, I had a client who was insistent that the links should go on in an obvious manner(despite my advising otherwise). I would like to request that my account be unblocked in order to make legitimate/relevant edits. Again, please accept my apologies for this and I will not do it again. Many thanks for your understanding on this matter.

Decline reason:

Declined due to lack of response to the conditions below. Feel free to post annother request once you're ready to communicate in a timely manner. Max Semenik (talk) 12:16, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm willing to accept the above statement, and I would put forward the following unblock conditions:

You will not edit articles on behalf of a client
You will not add external links or citations to client sites
You will in no way add material or links that could be considered promotional
Any breach of the above will lead to an immediate re-blocking for an indefinite period

Do you understand and accept these conditions? (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 14:25, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Many thanks. I do understand and accept the conditions offered. Rest assured, lesson learned. It was definitely an oversight and will not be done again. Thanks for your understanding.

Accept reason:

Based on your statements, I will unblock you. I hope you're able to get a fresh start here; just make sure you stick to what you said. I think you deserve a second chance. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 17:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for this. Rest assured, I will stick to what I said. I am really grateful to you.

I think I cleared the autoblock on your IP address; you should be good to go. Sorry about that. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 17:34, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
