By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add ~~~~ at the end of your comment. That will put your user name (Mariaflags) and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.

I am now going to sign this message with my signature, by adding ~~~~ here: -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 18:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:38, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: I received your email. The reason why the links that you added were removed was because they were inappropriate for the articles and you were often times adding the same link in multiple times per article. If you feel that one of the links should be included in the article, please discuss the matter on the respective article talk page. However, you may want to review the external link guideline before you do so. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:15, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
