Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Link building, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 00:38, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Link building shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:48, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Link building, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 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.

editPlease join the discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Link_building. As a conflict of interest has arisen, I think it would be better to handle the issue to Administrators. Thanks - Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 04:41, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Hnancy (talk) 04:56, 3 December 2014 (UTC)Hi I am sorry that I cause your misunderstanding of my edit. I am an informatics student at UW and it is really my project to edit a wikipedia page. I actually couldn't finish my homework at all(already be delayed)as I can't add a lot of new contents on the current link building page. Moz didn't pay me at all and I even never heard of it before. I accidentally use the resources from searchenginejournal because they had similar resources as Moz and I didn't realize they have backlinks to Moz. I am currently work on the conflicts section and I want to mention a new section about link building tactics so that I could turn in my homework tomorrow. Hope you can understand. And I think this issue could be handled by administrators.
Re note left on Talk:Nagle:
- Using Wikipedia for student projects is encouraged, but there are rules your instructor should have followed. Please see Wikipedia:Student assignments. There, it says, "Wikipedia takes pride in being "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", and the Wikipedia community is based on volunteers who attempt to follow the norms of the site. When students edit to meet the requirements of a class (which might not align with the norms of Wikipedia), rather than out of a voluntary desire to execute Wikipedia's mission, this dynamic changes. Because of this fact, Wikipedia justifiably expects instructors to take responsibility for their students' work, both for the students' sake and for the good of the encyclopedia.".
- You didn't do anything seriously wrong. Your instructor should have gone through the Wikipedia process for announcing that a class is doing course work on Wikipedia. As for your own edits, you're editing an article on a very commercial subject, search engine optimization, which is likely to attract promotional edits. As a result, anything which looks like a promotional link is likely to be deleted, per Wikipedia's advertising policy.WP:ADV. If Wikipedia did not do this, it would be full of ads and spam. That's what happened. Thanks. John Nagle (talk) 05:45, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
