Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Maria Weston Chapman. 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. Theroadislong (talk) 18:13, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
April 2020[edit]
Hello, I'm BusterD. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Abraham Lincoln have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. You have been warned about this before. Insertion of links to personal websites is not permitted; please read WP:Identifying reliable sources. BusterD (talk) 14:34, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to American Civil War. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Philip Sheridan, you may be blocked from editing. 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.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at John C. Frémont. 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.
