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 constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ... discospinster _talk 17:52, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Headband. 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. 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. --Esanchez_{(Talk 2 me or Sign here)} 17:54, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Arbitrage betting, 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. ... discospinster _talk 18:00, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for vandalism and inserting spam links. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ... discospinster _talk 18:04, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I would like to unblock my account. I thought i was doing something right by placing links of examples, but now after reviewing your policies i see i did something clearly wrong. Im sorry. I would still like to make changes that can be confirmed. I would ask of you to please unblock me. Thanks, Nathan

Decline reason:

Sorry, but that is an intentionally inaccurate description of your edits, which were very simple spam and vandalism. Kuru (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
