User talk:NetballStars
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page netball 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 for advertising or promotion. Since 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.
I've also speedily deleted your user page as blatant advertising. Wikipedia does not accept advertising of any kind. Graham87 23:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Re: Your user page
[edit]The article San Francisco Motorcycle Club asserts some notability because it was founded in 1904 and is the second-oldest club of its type in the United States. Your user page article read much more like an advertisement, inviting people to go to that netball club even if they couldn't by virtue of being 10,000 miles away. Your username is also the same as your netball club so the conflict of interest is very obvious. Your user page is like a user profile - it is OK to say that you work for the Netball Stars on your user page, but not to use the whole page for advertising. Graham87 02:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
