Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Alan White (Oasis drummer). 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.

I haven't added an inapprpriate ref thank you very much - and you can take you accusation of spamming back. You are removing references, but not removing the referenced text to go along with it. Good work there.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Liz Kershaw. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. bonadea contributions talk 17:09, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't inserted a spam link. I have re-instated refs that have been in place for a long time, and ONE editor removed them without removing the relevant text.

So it's entirely a coincidence that every single one of your edits to articles adds a link to companycheck.co.uk? That's not a reliable source and should not be added to articles, particularly not to biographies of living persons. There's no indication of editorial oversight.

No - it is these are the referenced this user is removing. Lets ignore the fact that this other use is just leaving lots of unreferenced information in articles. I believe removing references, but not the information that was refercing is most def an editorial oversight.

As I said that's not a reliable source, and the articles are better off without those links. If the text needs to be changed or a more reliable source needs to be found is an unrelated issue not relevant to whether or not you should re-add the spam links. Huon (talk) 17:18, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
