Why is it spamming?
The resources I am posting are relevant and from an Emmy award winning PBS series? I don't understand why some of the other resources are allowed but these are considered spam. Please explain. Thanks!

- You're posting a link to the same site again and again and again. This is (link)spamming. Wikipedia is not a collection of links (see WP:NOT) nor are the links necessarily appropriate nor encyclopedic (see WP:EL) - Alison✍ 23:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello KKHTV,
Ali-oops is correct. I have looked at your edits and they are all the same link to what is admittedly a possibly related link. However, the extent of the linking and the commercial nature of the site make this a problem.
May I suggest you consider writing an article on the series and then others may make the appropriate link to the article. Search PBS and look a the articles on show from there or other well known series like The West Wing (TV series) and draw comparisons from those existing articles. Do bear in mind that the commercial nature of the website you linked may be construed as promotion for a business which is definitely not allowed on Wikipedia.Malangthon 04:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
