Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Costa Rica. 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.  LaNicoya  •TALK• 03:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Costa Rica. 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.

Take a look at the External link guidelines, you will notice Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article., Links mainly intended to promote a website, Links to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising, and Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services among many of Links to be normally avoided so please refrain from re-adding them. Also, don't forge to SIGN your posts with ~~~~ at the end of your message.  LaNicoya  •TALK• 00:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
