User talk:WheelHorseStables
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "WheelHorseStables", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy.

Hello, I'm Hammersoft. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Wheel Horse, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:12, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Wheel Horse. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 03:10, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello Hammersoft. I'm sorry if I did something inappropriate. I am the owner of WheelHorseStables.com. I added the link because we are an information forum exactly like Redsquare and others that were already linked. I have no idea how to use all this stuff here so I'm sorry if this doesn't look right.
- The point is that we do not permit link spamming. The existence of other sites in a list anywhere on any article does not waive this issue. You should read Wikipedia:External links for more information. If you have questions, please ask. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 17:29, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
This doesn't seem vary fair that some can have their information forum on this page and some can not. What is the reason for that?
You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.
If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.
You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
