Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Hilary Duff do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hilary Duff. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Gscshoyru 21:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

link added isn't spam

i tried adding a link to Hilary Duff's page but it was removed because it was thought that its spam. it is a link to her live appearance at muchmusic, in toronto. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Albearto (talk • contribs) 21:25, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

There's no need for it -- you might as well add all of her performances. External links are for external pages directly about the subject, this page is not. See WP:EL for a general idea of what an external link should be. Gscshoyru 21:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But its an interview, in video format. it also contains past interviews and her music videos! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Albearto (talk • contribs) 21:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I supposed I see your point. My fault, put it back then. You should probably label it as what you just told me it is, though. Gscshoyru 21:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Violations of WP:EL and WP:COI

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:10, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
