Hello, I'm MrOllie. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 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 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. MrOllie (talk) 16:09, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain why you have not deleted the other external links which are all similar? such as "MRQual", "Greenfield", "ITracks" and "CyberFacility"? These are the same as the link I added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BenOHanlon (talk • contribs)

The presence of other links which may not be allowed under our guidelines would be a reason to remove those links, not to add more noncompliant links. Please stop adding links to sites you are affiliated with. If you continue this for too long your account may be blocked and/or your links added to the blacklist, which may impact your search engine rankings. - MrOllie (talk) 16:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
