Please read WP:EL before adding or restoring any more external links. Thanks, --John (talk) 03:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Please also see WP:POINT. It perfectly describes what you are doing. If you continue, you will be blocked. Please don't. --John (talk) 17:01, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Harassment?

Hello.
Can I ask you to come to Talk:Boycott Scotland and explain why you found the removal of an external link, as discussed there, harassment (Note WP:HARASSMENT)? I've linked to the style guideline recommending to limit external links to one link per website there. Apparently, you disagree. If you can't give a convincing reason why this external link should be excepted from the style guideline (which has broad support by the community), I will remove it again, since you have not provided a reason for the removal other than a personal attack in the edit summary. In that regard, since I see you've judged an edit rather unfavorably instead of focusing on the content before, I would ask you to try and stay calm when editing, and assume good faith. I believe we're all here to improve those articles, and I've seen you discuss things civilly before. Let's try to continue so, and discuss in a collaborative spirit.

Hi.
Wikipedia works through WP:CONSENSUS. Consensus is reached through discussion. The only way for that link to remain in the article is if you convince us on the talk page why those longstanding guidelines and policies I mentioned there should be ignored. If you're not planning to discuss, and attempt to push your opinion through by persistent editing, then I don't think you're going to be very happy on Wikipedia.
