From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. --A.

I noticed your comment here about adding Wikipedia links to build traffic to your business. You may wish to reflect on this discussion of a possible initiative by Google. Nothing official or formal has happened and likely never will given Wikipedia's built-in anarchy. Nevertheless, Wikipedia's global spam list is open to any search engine operator that wants to peruse it:

It's up to them how they decide to this list.

The blacklist is reserved for persistent spammers, not newcomers such as yourself unless you keep doing this. Just, please, don't add back those links. Thanks!
