Please stop adding advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Uzbekistan. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --Fang 23 (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Uzbekistan. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Green Giant (talk) 23:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
