Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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.

Western Technology Center etc

Please stop and learn something more about what Wikipedia is before you do any more editing. There are useful help pages. Wikipedia is not a directory, and pricing information and phone numbers are not encyclopaedic. We should include information about the Western Technology Center and its members only to the extent that the information is notable, which will generally mean finding reliable sources of information in third-party publications, not the websites of the organisations concerned.

You should look at what are considered to be appropriate external links. Many of those you are introducing do not contain third party information about notable aspects of the subject of the articles, but rather contain links to promotional material from the subject of the articles.

I am sure if you take the time to read those articles you will understand why many of your additions are being and will be reverted. If on the other hand you persist in adding inappropriate material, you may be blocked. Grafen (talk) 21:59, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Hobart, Oklahoma. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Grafen (talk) 22:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
