{{helpme}} In fairness, if you (Wikipedia) are removing our link to our support group, then I respectfully request the other group be removed as well. It should be all or nothing.

I am confused. Are you removing this or is Una Smith? I will not put our link back up, but I do ask that you consider putting it back up yourself. We are a group of volunteers who provide information and support to individuals who have found that they are pregnant with a baby which has a teratoma (a tumor). The most common is the sacrococcygeal teratoma (on the base of the spine). All the members are individuals who have had a child with a teratoma. Some have had babies who survived and others have lost a child before birth or in surgery to remove the teratoma. We do not dispense medical advice, we are truly a support group. There are 2 distinct strands. One group who is pregnant now and require information and support. We merely recount our own experiences --suggest questions for the doctors etc. The second group are those who have surviving children. The teratoma's often leave a child with major damage to the internal organs-- urinary and bowel problems are the most common. In these cases individuals may discuss what has been done with their child or tell how they handled various problems. We are not in any way a profit agency--no sales--not even donations. Even though my grandson died, it was the support of these individuals which got me through my daughter's pregnancy and the subsequent death.

Please read WP:SPAM. I understand your devotion to your project, but wikipedia does not tollerate those links, and are considered spamming. As a note I have removed the other link as well. --Hirohisat ^Kiwi 04:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

User:Tcstart75, the Yahoo group requires registration to read; that's a big no-no (Wikipedia:External_links#Sites_requiring_registration. The Google group that you complain about and User:Hirohisat deleted is public; on that ground alone I think it can stay, but I will let others decide. Please try contributing something to Wikipedia other than link spam. --Una Smith 16:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Teratoma. 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 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 policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. 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. Thank you.

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

This is your last warning.
The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Teratoma, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.
