Welcome!

Hello Eshiv and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Tethering, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see:

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Wireless access point. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. —Darkwind (talk) 13:25, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Wireless access point. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —Darkwind (talk) 13:28, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

External link policy

Since you didn't seem to get the message I left on my own talk page, I'm posting here instead. Please read Wikipedia:External links, specifically the section "Links normally to be avoided", nos. 4 and 13. It is very difficult to believe that your link is not intended for promotional/spam purposes when the subject of your link is Wireless Application Protocol settings, but you posted it on Wireless Access Point, which has nothing to do with your link. —Darkwind (talk) 13:48, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  —Darkwind (talk) 19:28, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

It still doesn't look like you've read and understand the external link policy. Please look again at the kind of links we generally avoid. Your site appears to be a blog, so it falls under #11; and your actions clearly indicate that you are trying to generate traffic for your website, which falls under #4. It doesn't matter that there are other inappropriate links on some Wikipedia pages. The point is to avoid adding any more material which does not advance the reader's encyclopedic understanding of the topics we cover.

Further, we strongly discourage editors from linking to websites that they control or contribute to. See the first paragraph at WP:ADV.

To put it more clearly, we welcome you to edit and contribute to Wikipedia by adding and improving content, and adding relevant external links that you are not personally affiliated with. If you continue to add links to your own website, you will be blocked indefinitely without further warning. —Darkwind (talk) 22:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
