May 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Virtual data room has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://sterlingxag.wordpress.com/.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Virtual data room. 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. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ukexpat (talk) 15:03, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External links

See WP:EL for guidance on external links. – ukexpat (talk) 17:26, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blogs

Blogs and other personal websites are by their nature not generally considered reliable sources. Thus, links to blogs will generally be removed pretty quickly. Worse yet, that's a link to a company blog of a vendor of VDRs, and thus even more blatantly inappropriate for linking to. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
