September 2011

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Whorl, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Whorl with this edit. 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Monty ₈₄₅ 20:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question for "Monty"

I added a description to the word Whorl and you removed it with one explanation about links. I've looked up a thousand things on Wikipedia and here are two examples, Coke and Angry Birds. What is the difference in those and what I added, a link to the Whorl! page? Favagames (talk) 21:03, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When an article has been written about a notable topic, it is often useful to the reader to provide external links to the product. When you just add a link to a product, where there is no article about the product, and no indication that the product is Notable then all you are doing is adding a promotional link, in other words: advertising. Please review Wikipedia:External links and note that external links are almost never appropriate for disambiguation pages, such as page where I reverted your edit.

Also, looking further, you appear to be connected with the product linked, please familiarize yourself with the Conflict of Interest guidelines. Your username may also be an issue, see WP:CORPNAME. Monty ₈₄₅ 21:26, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I see I have a lot to learn about Wikipedia before I continue using it!
