[edit]Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, see:

[edit]
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to José Tábata. 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. On five occasions, you have added external links to articles which led to "downloadable wallpaper" websites. This type of website has no encyclopedic value and does not belong on Wikipedia—especially not as an external link. Please stop adding links of this type to the encyclopedia. Thank you. —Bill Price (nyb) 16:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you insert advertising or a spam link, as you did to James Neal (ice hockey), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. TerminalPreppie (talk) 15:28, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may place {{unblock}} on your user talk page to have the block reviewed. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia.
