Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively 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 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 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.

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

This is the last warning you will receive for your
disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a
spam link, as you did to
Alligator, you will be
blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites
blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from all of Wikipedia.

The best ways to contribute are:
The following kinds of contributions tend to be reverted:
In a nutshell, if you try to promote your organization here, it won't fly. However, if you use Wikipedia as a way to educate the public with neutral, verifiable scientific information, you will find that it is a rewarding use of your time.
I hope this helps. Cheers, Clayoquot ( talk | contribs) 06:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
