Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. 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. Thank you.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello - I applaud your efforts to create a free resource for people to use. However, Wikipedia is not the place to list links to websites you control or are affiliated with. See WP:EL and WP:SPAM for further details. Wikipedia needs more cited information from reliable sources, not more bare external links. If you truly feel that your site ought to be included, you should mention it on one of the article's talk pages and allow other (neutral) editors to decide if it should be included. This is the accepted compromise for those wishing to add links to their own site. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
You're welcome, and thanks for your understanding. Also, here's an official welcome message that has some useful links for new Wikipedians. Hope this helps!:

[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!

Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
