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. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 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 rather than re-adding it. Thank you. —David Levy 19:52, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hawaii. 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.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well potentially being penalized by search engines.

State SuperGraphic links

Before you take any further action regarding the SuperGraphic links I posted on Hawaii and other state Web sites, please view the content. These are educational sites that U-Haul has established to promote interesting and little know facts about U.S. states and Canadian provinces. We are not promoting anything or trying to sell products. Teachers and educators have been using our SuperGraphic Web site for years now. My intent was to broaden the access to the research we'd done.

I'd like to talk to someone about this before you decide to ban me or my company's web site from Wikipedia.

Reply Canvassing the links is a violation of WP:EL policy as well as a conflict of interest issue. There is nothing further to discuss; if you add another link, your account will be indefinitely blocked. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:04, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you view any of the content? I read the WP-EL and the COI policies and I don't believe I violated either one of them. However, it's your ball game and you can interpret the rules any way you like. I will not post additional links.

I'd really like to discuss this with someone in authority, above the editor level. If you're the editor, please do me the courtesy of forwarding this message to whoever runs Wikipedia. I'm not trying to spam anything or sell anything. If you would take a look at the SuperGraphic site, I think you would understand. If there is some way to share this research that meets Wikipedia guidelines, I'll do it. In almost every case, we are furthing the information, education, etc. about a state topic or area ... not advertising -- at least that's our purpose.
