Thank you for this warning, but I'm confused. What are you talking about? What promotional links or advertisement did you notice? I sent pictures of a child star from the 70's and marked different points of her life. Did I format it wrong? Would you prefer I mentioned the horrible things that happened to this woman. That her parents were killed in front of her? That she had 2 separate car accidents where she was temporarily paralyzed both times? That she was kidnapped in Hawaii by an underground mob and had to jump out two story window to escape! This is a short informative biography on a child star that grew up in Hollywood and survived. It's an expose oh her tremendous strength and will to survive. There are no links or promotional material other than the fact she herself was used to promote products in the USA!

Since this is my first time contributing, I might not understand what is perceived as advertising. I would appreciate it if you could indicate what part of this biographical sketch is considered advertisement.
