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.

[edit] Links
Hi Le79su and thanks for your message.
We prefer people add content rather than just links. If your site has useful content, please quote it, cite it and add it to our encyclopedia.
If, however, you feel that you just want to add links to our encyclopedia, I'm sorry, but we're not interested. If you add a link that is misdescribed, as you did, and then add the same link, repeatedly, to a page where the link is not justified, it will be deleted. If you then re-add the link, again without adding to our content, then even if correctly described and even if useful to the article (I'm not saying your link was either of these) it will be deleted again.
Wikipedia is a not-for-profit organisation funded by donations from its users. It is not dmoz nor MySpace. You can, with varying degrees of success, advertise via either of those. But not here, please.
But if you want to add content - relevant, verifiable, useful information that will add to the sum of human knowledge that we and our charitable donators are making available to the world for free - then we'd be happy to accept that content... in fact, we'll snap your arm off for it!
I hope this helps. If you need more information, a standard welcome message (not usually given to people spamming our encyclopedia, I'm afraid) is attached below. I look forward to seeing your contributions after you've read the links! Thanks! ➨ ЯEDVERS
