Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

- Wikipedia's SPAM policy does not care if it is non-profit or not. The problem is that you have an obviously conflict of interest in promoting the group. The best thing is to propose the link on the talk page and let the editors of the article determine whether it is appropriate or not. Be forewarned also that to continue to add links like this violates the external link policy and you can be blocked for continuing to add it. --Trödel 01:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
I just reviewed some of the text on the link you provided. There are several problems with it that will most likely disqualify it for use on Wikipedia. 1) there is not a substantial history of publication, 2) it is self published, 3) including the links could be viewed as using Wikipedia as a soapbox. Wikipedia also does not exist to help you improve your page-ranking, if you continue to add the link to various pages, the site could be added to the SPAM list. --Trödel 01:43, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

+ Wikipedia has a policy of "Neutral point of view" Your edits seem to violate that policy. Wiki is not a soapbox. Please keep the editorializing to forums where it is appropriate.70.103.176.242 20:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Per WP:BLP, I have removed your content from that article. Material must be sourced with reliable sources in all articles, especially those about living persons. You seem to have an agenda based on your username and userpage, and that is not welcome here as 70.103.176.242 mentions above. Syrthiss 12:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
