This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Frog, 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. You have added the same link to many articles on the English Wikipedia. Stop deliberately adding spam links or your edit rights will be revoked. ZergTwo (talk) 17:15, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to IUCN Red List. Wikipedia 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 17:19, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Animal, you may be blocked from editing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:21, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Eukaryote, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:22, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. PhilKnight (talk) 17:26, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.
Please note that there could be appeals to the Unblock Ticket Request System that have been declined leading to the posting of this notice.
