Revert explained[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Youngstown, Ohio 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, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. 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. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Youngstown, Ohio. 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. Youngstown is a Featured article and what you are adding does not meet the Featured article criteria - it reads like an advertisement, is unreferenced (except for a link to the company itself), and based on your user name and previous edits, I think you might have a conflict of interest. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have referces from reliable third-party sources, why not raise this on the Youngstown talk page? The information can probably be included, just in less promotional, more neutral terms. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest?[edit]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoidorexercise great caution when:

  1. editingorcreating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participatingindeletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
