In regards to your edits to cystic fibrosis and lung transplantation,
Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see
If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.
I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! -- ImmortalGoddezz 17:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 18:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Please do not edit User pages of others. To leave someone a message, use their User talk page, in this case User talk:ImmortalGoddezz. -- Fan-1967 18:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Please stop blanking this page and removing the warnings. Also stop the massive additions of self-promotional spam links or you will be blocked from editing. -- ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 18:38, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
If you are not willing to abide by the standards of Wikipedia, then try editing elsewhere.
I will note that your actions so far certainly do not reflect well on your institution. Fan-1967 18:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Personal vs. business self-promotion is a meaningless distinction. Clearly, your edits are not in any way intended to benefit Wikipedia, but are for the purposes of advertising your institution. Should Lung transplantation contain a link from every single hospital that performs them? No. They would overwhelm the article. Should it contain a link to just one? No. Is your hospital somehow unique in performing them? No. Inappropriate link, repeated dozens of times.
Hello, and thank you for editing Wikipedia! Some editors have expressed concern over your addition of external links. In particular, you may be unwittingly violating our guidelines on spam, external links, and conflicts of interest. It would be a good idea to review these guidelines before adding more external links. We welcome any content you can provide. Thanks! -- Ginkgo 100 talk 19:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Come on, your hospital may be a wonderful institution but you wouldn't expect to see links to every hospital in the world on over twenty different medical articles, as your edit history suggests. Please don't add inappopriate external links, they will be reverted, and your account will eventually be blocked if you continue to ignore warnings provided. Cheers !

Sometimes this place can be unfriendly. I see no-one has properly welcomed you yet. So,
Welcome!

People are trying hard not to bite you, but you're giving every encouragement for them to lose their cool and do so. Everyone was a newbie once and we all remember those days when we didn't really understand what Wikipedia is about. You too should reflect on the fact that you're new and try not to buck a system you don't yet know. Read the articles in the welcome message, take some time looking around the 'pedia, have a cup of WP:TEA and you'll soon understand why your well-intentioned but unfortunately misguided edits have been reverted. But do stick around - it seems you have a lot to offer. PS I'm happy to help you with any specific questions. Just click here and fire away. -- Dweller 19:53, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Are you acting as a representative of the hospital? Usernames closely resembling an organization or company are usually discouraged according to Wikipedia's policies on usernames. If you're not authorized to act publicly in the name of the hospital you should probably request to change your username to avoid being blocked. – Anþony talk 09:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
