Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Lithium Technologies. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 09:53, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lithium Technologies had a broken link. I redirected the link to a page I created on my site. As for the other incident, a citation was needed; so I created a page on my website with content I procured from the web. I am contributing to fix broken links and citing references. Please undo your changes.

No. The page on your website about Lithium Technologies is a clear copyright violation of the original, with no attribution, and Wikipedia does not link to such pages. In addition, it was very quick and easy to find the new location for the dead link, so I did that instead. Please do not add external links to your own website - I'll add some more information about that below. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 10:52, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Aalieh. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 10:52, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. That was helpful. Frankly, the only motivation for me to edit broken links on Wikipedia is creating backlinks for my site. This practice is lectured across many SEO training programs around the globe, and particularly in the US. I believe you should voice out your concerns more publicly so that people know what to expect.
