300 movie is an advertisement

The article 300 movie has been speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Slowking Man 08:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

300 (film)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages, as you did to 300 (film). Misplaced Pages is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Misplaced Pages 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. --Slowking Man 09:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages, as you did to 300 (film). It is considered spamming and Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Misplaced Pages uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Misplaced Pages will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. --Slowking Man 09:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to 300 (film), you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages. --Slowking Man 09:15, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

You will be blocked for repeated violations. The Behnam 09:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
