  This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did at BlackBerry 10, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 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.

  • I don't think it was at all helpful to give you a "last warning" about a possible block, without first having politely explained to you what the problem was. Warnings of that type are appropriate only when an editor has had the situation explained, has continued doing the same, has been warned, and has still persisted, which is not the case here. Nevertheless, the fact is that your edits do look like an attempt to use Wikipedia for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's policy, so please don't continue to add the same kind of link.

James - if you look at the welcome message that I posted you will see that it is spam-specific. Given that this author is very much single purpose I thought the warning was appropriate. However I will in future give a level 3 before jumping to 4 or 4im. --Biker Biker (talk) 11:18, 16 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
