Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Fedora (operating system), did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

• Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "{{helpme}}" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
• The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Fedora (operating system) was changed by Ravemaker (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.851664 on 2012-05-03T11:45:52+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 11:45, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ubuntu (operating system). 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. 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. SudoGhost 11:48, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

The content is not promotional but educational. ERPXE is an open source project that allows booting various OSs (like Ubuntu,Debian,CentOS...). The link will be useful to any IT.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravemaker (talk • contribs) 2:26, 5 May 2012‎

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Hu12 (talk) 17:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Why did you remove my input from the PXE Talk page? I've added them as I was told in the helpdesk IRC and by you in last warning. I understand removing them from the page, but I though I was supposed to add them to the Talk page so others can check if they are useful enough to be in WIKI.

Also why did you give me a "final" warning? I have not not added any context to any page after the first warning besides the Talk page.

Your contributions to wikipedia under Ravemaker and IP's 84.108.0.96, 109.160.229.53, 94.159.189.190, 46.120.116.239, 132.70.224.8, consist entirely of Promoting ERPXE and is considered WP:Spam. Looking through your contributions as a whole, they are all "ERPXE" related only. It has become apparent that your account and IP's are only being used for the sole or primary purpose of promoting "ERPXE" in apparent violation of Conflict of interest and anti-spam guidelines. This includes promoting "ERPXE" on the talk page of articles^[1]. As was explained to you in this discussion, "ERPXE" Links (both "org" and "net") are Links normally to be avoided and fails Wikipedias specific inclusion requirements of our External Links policy, Verifiability Policy and Reliable Source guidelines. Additionaly, Wikipedia is NOT a "repository of links" or a "vehicle for advertising" and persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted. Any further spamming may result in your account and/or your IP address being blocked from editing Wikipedia. see Wikipedia:BLOCK#Disruption (Persistent spamming). --Hu12 (talk) 22:36, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

1) OK so org,net domains are not acceptable, still no reason to remove the .com page, I still think it should be on the PXE page as it was for 5 months before you have removed it, You can tell just by the name of the domain that it is connected to PXE and if you will bother to check it out you will see that it's a free open source project for the community without any commercial gain. Please add it to the talk page of PXE or restore the page to the state it was a few weeks ago. 2) The only IP addresses I know from the list are 132,84, the rest is not mine , please remove them from my list.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravemaker (talk • contribs) 06:52, 8 May 2012

As was explained to you in this discussion and as was explained above... "ERPXE" Links are Links normally to be avoided and fails Wikipedias specific inclusion requirements of our External Links policy, Verifiability Policy and Reliable Source guidelines. It doesn't matter if if the links were there for 5 months or 5 minutes or that its free or open source.. Just because nobody noticed your promotional spam a long time ago does not mean you now have a "right" to keep it in. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia - as such many links do not belong here and will not be restored. --Hu12 (talk) 20:11, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
