Information icon 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 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. [1] MrOllie (talk) 12:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

Why am I seeing these alerts. I don't add spam external links, these links provides value to the article and I get assured before linking that only relevant links can be added. Hvris (talk) 18:04, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're seeing these messages because you are adding spam links to Wikipedia. They do not 'provide value'. Kindly stop adding them. MrOllie (talk) 18:08, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Kindly give me a proper reason as to why it is considered spam link when infect it is highly relevant to the readers, when there is no page available with the exact information on wikipedia, linking to external source is the only option. Hvris (talk) 18:09, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most spam is 'relevant' by some definition, But nonetheless, it is still spam. We see a lot of people spamming their blogs, fake 'status update' sites and the like on those articles. What you are adding is no different and won't be treated any differently. MrOllie (talk) 18:22, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do see one more external link in the content of same article where my editing reverted. Can you please specify How that link is relevant and ain't considered spam.
My editing was not only on external links in the content but I also added citations to relevant sources and grammar correction. All reverted! Hvris (talk) 18:44, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you have noticed another spam link on Wikipedia, that is a problem to be fixed, not a reason to add yet more problem links. MrOllie (talk) 19:34, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you will not get the point and no arguments! Thanks. Hvris (talk) 20:12, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
