- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.
Hello, I'm
Donald Albury. I wanted to let you know that one or more of
your recent contributions to
Liberia have been undone because they appeared to be promotional.
Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "
soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using
independent sources, and from a
neutral perspective. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate
external links to Wikipedia, you may be
blocked from editing. It is considered
spamming and
Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses
nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

- Hello, thank you for your message. I'm a bit confused – could you please clarify, the article requires additional sources, I managed to locate a source complete with proper citation, but I noticed that it has been removed. Could you kindly explain the reason for this deletion? Thank you

- You've been adding obvious spam links - the same spam links you've been warned about on the half-dozen other accounts you've registered. You should consider this the final warning - If I see those sites added again (by any account), I will refer them for spam blacklisting.

- I created multiple accounts for a specific reason: the vague rules governing content. What qualifies as non-spam content on one resource might be deemed spam on another. The determinants often seem subjective, largely dependent on the decisions of Wikipedia volunteers.
- It's perplexing that certain pages linger for years with improvement notifications, yet individuals with available time opt not to enhance them, but instead remove new citations wholesale.
- In essence, Wikipedia doesn't seem to undergo significant improvement, but rather a consolidation of authority that determines what constitutes spam or not. I urge for clearer spam criteria to be established – specifications regarding domain rating and spam score.
- For instance, the link I included boasts a domain rating of 53 and a mere 1% spam score. Is a higher domain rating of 60 and a spam score of 0% preferable?
- I seek clarity on how to distinguish between acceptable citations from one source and those not deemed suitable from another.
