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.

  • Part of the reason I left the message was that you were adding the same two links to many many articles. If you'll read Wikipedia's guidelines on spamming and linking to external sites, you can see that we try to avoid this. The other reason is that neither of the pages actually is an information source; they're more like propaganda pages. It is possible that the links are marginally appropriate for an article like Overpopulation, but you might want to start a discussion about that on the article's talk page, to get an idea of what some of the frequent editors think.
