Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Breast cancer 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. I Repointed link to relevant material at the site offered by you. Please see External link spamming for the guidelines as what constitutes a quality link. It is not enough to simply point to the home page of a kindered-spirit non-profit organisation. The link should directly point to material that supports and extends the article, otherwise it is a just a promotional link on behalf of a business, group or organisation and this runs counter to the guidelines, regardless of the good intentions of the organisation. If you have any questions, post them to my talk page. Gosgood 13:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
