Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

In this case, whist I don't dispute that your website links are probably well-meaning and added in good faith, unfortunately Wikipedia's policy on External links normally to be avoided states, 1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. I cannot really see much content on your website that is sufficiently definitive or original that could not be included in the articles themselves and hence the external links are inappropriate.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! DWaterson 19:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More about links

A link specifically about blacksmithing in the Royal Navy might be appropriate for the Blacksmith article, but your link was removed because it was for the exhibit as a whole and therefore didn't seem to be about blacksmithing. A seemingly irrelevant external link, even for a registered charity, is likely to be considered spam and removed. In general, you should only add links which add relevant information to an article that is not already present in the article. --Eastmain 14:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
