Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Astrology, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

Help Me Question

edit

the author of Dogscopes has actually released a book Pet Astrology, would I be able to author a page on Pet Astrology referencing the aforementioned link as well as other references?Grace suriel (talk) 20:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Maybe. See the links above in the welcome message. If you think it can be well sourced and meets the notability guidelines go for it. GtstrickyTalk or C 20:53, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie Talk 20:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hyena. 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. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. 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. Anaxial (talk) 22:14, 29 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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.
