Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page divisor 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, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. 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. Pikiwyn ^talk 16:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately your request is not consistent with Wikipedia's policies. You are effectively asking us to give a link to promote your software, but Wikipedia does not promote products. If you have read the guideline on external links you will realise that a link in an article is supposed to provide further information about the subject of the article, not to give publicity to another product, even if it has a connection with the subject of the article. Wikipedia aims to cover only subjects which are notable, and our criterion of notability is that there is substantial independent coverage of the subject, which is probably not so in the case of your software.
