User talk:Petrux

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. 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. Thanks.

Linkspam

Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. *drew 02:19, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very sorry, I apologise. The links seem to be to statistics from NGO non-profit organisations. Blnguyen | rant-line 03:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

idea.int links

Petrux, thanks for leaving a message on my talk page. We normally advise editors who are affiliated with external sites they think are useful for an article to post the link on the article's talk page with a brief description of what it is, that you're affiliated, and why the link will add encyclopedic value to the article. Then editors who are independent of the external site can decide whether it's an appropriate link for the article.

We also strongly encourage users to post content over external links. As an editor here you are volunteering for Wikipedia, and Wikipedia's main mission is to build an open content encyclopedia. External links don't significantly further that mission, while good content does. Some of the articles you have been posting the idea.int website to would really benefit from a well written section instead. I really encourage you to consider contributing in this way. Check out the WP:Welcome page for more on good writing. -Siobhan Hansa 14:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
