Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. AbsolutDan 05:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Heah? 00:19, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
RE: External links / Spamming
[edit]Spamming is about promoting your own site or a site you love, not about commercial sites at all. Links to commercial sites are often appropriate. Links to sites for the purpose of using Wikipedia to promote your site are not.
Just because there may be other links on these pages that may not belong doesn't mean they're OK. Those need to go, too. The fact that we haven't gotten around to it, yet, does not mean that we have some obligation to have your site.
We don't need to link to every site in existence that meets a certain criteria. Sometimes we just need one site representative of a category.
For more information about external links, see Wikipedia:External links. If you still have further concerns about this, let me know --AbsolutDan (talk) 16:59, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
- If you truly feel that a link is relevant or appropriate for a particular article, bring it up on the article's talk pages. If your proposed site is deemed to be more useful than an existing similar link or people feel it would be a useful addition, then you can make the applicable changes. That's the beauty of talk pages! --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address. |
