From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - hmwithtalk 13:20, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can I ask which external links you are reffering to?

Sorry for the confusion, Can i ask which external links you are reffering to? I also had a question on why the juicecaster wiki page was deleted without any article for discussion?

There were JuiceCaster external links in a completely non-related article: Facebook, if I remember correctly. As for the JuiceCaster page being deleted, it was a Speedy Delete, which doesn't need consensus. If you have any further questions, let me know. - hmwithtalk 20:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
It's okay about the link. Now, you know that links only cannot be used on a page. For future reference, you may want to see "Links normally to be avoided".
  • Note that I did not delete the page. Only an admin can delete/reinstate a page, and I am just a normal editor, like you. Contact one of them if you have a question or problem with their tactics. You can go here: "Why was my page deleted?" get help and advice on how to see how to reinstate a deleted page.
Also, please sign all of your posts on talk pages with four tildes, like this ~~~~. - hmwithtalk 20:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk pages for non-existing articles

Also, I see that you wrote {{hangon}} on the talk page for JuiceCaster. It's too late now, since the page is already deleted. You actually are not supposed to leave comments on pages that have been deleted. Sorry! - hmwithtalk 22:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
