Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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. Leivick (talk) 07:09, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

edit Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Honda Integra. 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, 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. Biker Biker (talk) 04:19, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
I don't' believe I should be blocked for adding a link to two Wikipedia pages. There is nothing 'inappropriate' as you stated. The link goes to a much more comprehensive information source directly related the topic of the Wikipedia page (Integra and Integra Type-R). Wikipedia allows partially-incorrect information (or citing sources), but disallows direction toward correct and complete information? No wonder Wikipedia has a reputation for being an unreliable source of facts.
Decline reason:
If you'd made any attempt to discuss the removal of your link, or to do anything else at all on Wikipedia, then you might have a case. However, it's eminently clear that your only purpose here is to add one single link, regardless of any opposition, and that's not permitted. Yunshui 雲水 09:36, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
I have updated those two pages over a dozen different times (since 2008 both from my computer at home and my computer at work). The changes I made kept reverting back to their old settings. I researched the possible reason it kept getting reset. I discovered that if I created a Wikipedia login, it would have a better chance of retaining the changes. Rather than wasting time making changes to the page details, I tested this theory by adding the link you refer to. I came back many months later to add some changes to the page details. I logged in and saw that I had been blocked since June 2013 and that it cited the link as the reason. I have made more changes than the link, but not since creating my login account on the website. I don't get on here very often, but I would like to make corrections and add important details. I'm sorry if you feel I'm adding a link just to add a link (and since creating my login account that is all I have done). That is not my intention.Beastnatch (talk) 18:37, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
The external link you've persisted in adding doesn't appear to be a reliable source and is of highly questionable encyclopedic benefit to the encyclopedia or to readers. It seems to be a self-published source. Please consider why you wish to edit here and whether or not you will take note of the policies and guidelines before submitting a further unblock request. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 11:17, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Beastnatch. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
