  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.

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Jewel bearing. 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 the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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.

Although that looks like a fascinating site, adding their homepage link to every Wikipedia article across the entire mechanics category is too much, bordering on link spamming. I note in particular that they don't appear to have any relevant content for Jewel bearings.

If you want to link to this site (and where appropriate, it's a great site) please do it by adding the link to relevant pages, and giving a more detailed link. |Thank you.Andy Dingley (talk) 15:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

You have spammed the same site-level link to a lareg number of articles, including these four engine-related articles. The link you have spammed is a good link, where appropriate, but this is unreasoanable.

  • It's a link to the overall site, not any relevant link for specific articles.
  • The engines listed above don't appear to be on the site. This is not a relevant link for those articles.

Please stop posting this link, and this exact same link, to such large numbers of articles where it's irrelevant. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Brussels. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Seb az86556 (talk) 18:36, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a short time in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
The duration of the block is 24 hours. Here are the reverts in question.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
