Please do not add inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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.--John (talk) 22:57, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

In keeping with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 23:19, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
I repeat, please read the Misplaced Pages guidelines, as stated. As for your pithy comment, Jpgordon, regarding username, they seem a bit pointless, as someone wanting to pull the wool over your eyes would have used a different name, wouldn't they?! Further: "Who Comments? is a free to use biographical database" wherease plenty million more links from 'external links area' are to sites such as IMDb, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:External_links "Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy." http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:External_links#What_should_be_linked "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Misplaced Pages article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons."
Decline reason:
Misdirection about the acceptability of links won't help, as it's the linkspamming for which you were blocked. TNXMan 01:47, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
