This IP address, 67.103.227.242, is registered to Covad and used by a spammer for the Sol Group Corp of Miami, FL, and may be shared by multiple users. In the case of organizations using proxy servers, this IP address may in fact represent many users at many physical computers.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user. Alternatively, you can list the IP at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider using a soft block with the template {{anonblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, 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 mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then 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. [1][2][3]][4] ✤ JonHarder ^talk 23:12, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.

Response to your message on my talk page

Please read Wikipedia policy on external links, especially this section on advertising. If you think the commercial links you are adding do not violate this policy, first discuss this on the talk pages of the article pages.

In response to the questions you raised, instead of sending me links to wiki pages with commercial links, it would be better to delete those links. There may be some gray area of editorial discretion in determining which links violate the WP:EL policy, but a link to a vacation resort site like this is pretty clearly not in that area, especially if the editor posting this has a commercial connection to the site. The value Wikipedia isn't a travel guide, it is an encyclopedia. Notmyrealname 14:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed those other commercial links on the Los Cabos page. Wikipedia's definition of "spam" is a little different from some dictionary definitions. It includes links to commercial sites that don't add anything to the article. There are other places on the web for listing hotels and resorts. Notmyrealname 15:19, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Los Cabos

This is your last warning.
The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing anyone from linking to them from any site that uses the MediaWiki spam blacklist, which includes all of Wikimedia and Wikipedia.

Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 15:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
