Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Talk:Raccoon 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. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the [[talk:Talk:Raccoon|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. Dr.K. (talk) 23:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at User talk:Tasoskessaris, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Dr.K. (talk) 07:11, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

• Hello - yes, you are right to mention your edits at the article talk pages. However, we generally disallow links to commercial organisations unless the content is specifically relevant to the text of the article. Even then, it may not be justifiable. Adding lots of links to articles is always a no-no: please read WP:LINKSPAM and WP:EL. Finally, please be civil in your interactions with other users. Thanks, Black Kite 11:47, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
