Please help me with... Dear community, recently I updated my website to https and have subsequently been updating reference urls in Wikipedia pages to point to the correct (https) locations. I also added an external link to the Nuclear Power in the United States Page to an article I thought the page editor might find relevant. These edits seem to have been flagged by your anti-spam bot as advertising/promotional.

I am not familiar with Wikipedia's moderation protocols, but it was never my intention to spam the encyclopedia. Please advise if there is anything I can or should do. Sincerely, AL AL20227 (talk) 22:14, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AL20227 I only see one edit that has been reverted and that was your first to Nuclear power in the United States. This was not by an anti-spam bot but another editor Knuthove who you left a message for and they have responded and you can respond back as required to clarify. External links should be reliable sources and should be useful links for further research (see Wikipedia:External links for more detail) - blogs and individuals opinions are not generally reliable sources. Also as this is a recent post as a first edit it looks more like an effort to promote the blog post than assist the readers. However updating http:// links to https:// (where they exist) is perfectly reasonable. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 00:03, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

External links are always optional, and I can easily see how someone (not an anti-spam bot!) could see all of these links of yours as spam, since you seem to be posting links to your own writings.

I think it is pointless to argue that the link on the nuclear power article should be retained as an external link. If this weren't your website, but a regular publication, it might be possible to argue for adding it as a reference to the article, but that's not something you should do. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:08, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with... Thank you. Is there a preferred mechanism for suggesting material/links for specific Wikipedia pages? In the case of my article on nuclear power, I do believe it would add value to the page, but I did not feel comfortable editing the page content myself (ie: in the "debate" section). What would be the best way to approach a situation like this? Other than editing page content directly or adding an external link, I don't see another option?

You can suggest links on the talk page, if you want. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 01:22, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
