Welcome
Hi. Thanks for helping out at Wikipedia. We need all the help we can get, and every new user is welcome. I've had to remove the links you added to articles as they do not comply with our guidelines. See Wikipedia:External links for advice on what links can be added, and which cannot. The links you were adding were to a commercial property site which had very basic information on the areas, which appeared to be taken from Wikipedia in the first place. I hope you won't be discouraged by having your work reverted, and will continue to look for other ways you can help Wikipedia. SilkTork ✔Tea time 13:52, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt at first, but it seems clear that you are only interested in promoting a website rather than helping build the encyclopaedia. If you add a link to the commercial property site again the website will be blacklisted, and you will be blocked. If you wish to promote the website, please do so elsewhere via appropriate means, and stop abusing Wikipedia. SilkTork ✔Tea time 20:06, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
