[edit]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 constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:41, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Re your message: The links you were adding were removed per Wikipedia's external link guideline and per the spam guideline. If you believe that the link should be included in the articles, please discuss the matter on the relevant article's talk page and get a consensus for inclusion. You can also discuss the matter on the WikiProject Wine project. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:53, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Re your message: As I told you in my previous message, I do not believe that the links were appropriate per the external link guideline. If you think the links are appropriate, please open a discussion on the appropriate talk page to see if other editors agree with you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:34, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
