Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Kindle Fire do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Cameron Scott (talk) 11:48, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to High-speed rail in the United Kingdom. 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. Nördic Nightfury 09:13, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Apologies. I do consider the website links added to be relevant to the page subject. Both the IEP and Javelin Train are integral to high speed train travel in the UK, and the sites do offer value for visitors (in fact both are already highly ranked by Google and getting good visitor numbers, in the case of Javelintrain.com it has been online since a couple of years before the UK Olympics, IEPtrain.co.uk is obviously newer but is likely to ultimately be the more trafficked).

Neither are flooded with advertising. Can you reconsider?

Thx Steve

It is the rules of Wikipedia, having a look of the links, the Javelin link appears to be filled with original research, which isn't allowed unless backed up by a reliable source. It is also unrelated to Eurostar - I shall revert your edit there. Your IEP link is also riddled with original research and again isn't allowed.

In short, no, I won't reconsider. Nördic Nightfury 09:43, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK I understand. Sorry for the hassle.
