  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.

Please stop adding you links to Greek articles for the Greek challenge coins. I am in the process of removing them. If you persist i will report you to an admin and they could possibly ban you for a rules violation, and no one wants to see that happen. Thanks!Trey (talk) 23:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

  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 as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Chapter websites are affiliated with the Greek organization that they belong to. as are philanthropic websites with are only related to that particular Greek organization. They also are not trying to sell anybody a product. You are a company that sells Greek merchandise and not related to any one Greek organization as such you are not allowed to link to your company on Wikipedia pages and your adding of your links is in violation of our rules. It would be no different than Wal-Mart adding a link to their website to every page about a product they sell. If you think your company is notable enough try creating a Wikipedia page about it. And if you have seen any other companies on Greek pages they should not be there and will be removed as soon as myself or another editor spots them. Trey (talk) 23:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
