Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. agtx 06:40, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please be specific? --Merinakutas (talk) 06:41, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. On at least 10 different pages related to the topic of goals, you added links and references to the app "Linkagoal." This seems strongly like promotional editing designed to promote a product, not constructive encyclopedia editing. WP:PROMO will give you more information. agtx 06:43, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Show me where I added links? I only added references which is not from a advertising site. If 43 Things can be added then how my edits are promotional? Merinakutas (talk) 06:47, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In this context, the link to the Huffington Post article appeared to be designed only to promote the product, and not as an actual source. However, if it makes you feel better, I will withdraw the warning and replace it with another one.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. agtx 06:51, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Much better now! I accept this warning and I will stop now and do other kinds of editing.Merinakutas (talk) 06:52, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Determination, you may be blocked from editing. Donner60 (talk) 06:44, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at GROW model. Again, you are adding links to the app for promotional purposes. You need to stop. agtx 06:52, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
