September 2009 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page CD/DVD copy protection 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, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. 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. WuhWuzDat 15:27, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to CD/DVD copy protection. 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. Thank you. WuhWuzDat 15:29, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to CD/DVD copy protection. 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.

  This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to List of copy protection schemes. Q T C 15:32, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
