Welcome!

Hello, OPP 9, and welcome to Wikipedia.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Portal:Biotechnology. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. John of Reading (talk) 14:22, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Portal:Biotechnology/Categories, 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 been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
