Hi Aaaeditor,
Welcome to Wikipedia!
I notice that your contributions so far have consisted primarily, if not entirely, of adding references to the Academy of Achievement Wikipedia article and website. This is a little problematic, as it gives the appearance that your edits have the goal of calling attention to a particular website, rather than reviewing all of the many available interviews by, say, Maya Angelou, and choosing the one that's the most notable for coverage of the topic. While some of these may turn out to be notable enough for inclusion, it makes me hesitate that even the first reference on the AA article describes it as an "obscure" organization.
If you're not associated with the AA, I'd suggest just editing on a different topic for a while. If you are (as your name perhaps implies), I'd suggest you look at relevant guidelines about Conflict of Interest and External link spam, and also asking another, more-established editor for help in sorting through what might be appropriate for inclusion and what not (instructions on how to do this are in those policy articles). And do let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, and happy editing, -- Khazar (talk) 15:14, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Willie Mays. 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. The way I see it, your persistent addition of Achievement links (with unneeded quotes, as pointed out by other editors) amounts to link spamming for the organization. You may take this up, for instance, at the Wikipedia:External links/Noticeboard, since they are external links rather than references, in my opinion. Drmies (talk) 16:47, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello Aaaeditor. If you are affiliated with 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, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Aaaeditor) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it gives the appearance of representing an organization rather than you personally, risking being blocked indefinitely as a violation of Wikipedia:Username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you.)) ~Amatulić (talk) 22:34, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
