[edit] atp links

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. --Siobhan Hansa 10:49, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for responding. If you would like to help us build an open content encyclopedia we would welcome your expertise in developing the articles. But Wikipedia is not a link depository or a place to simply connect to lots of other sites that contain content. Please see our external links guidelines for more on what sorts of external links are considered acceptable, and note that posting links to your own sites directly on the article is almost never acceptable. If you think a link to an article on your own site is appropriate for an article, add it to the talk age with an explanation of how it adds encyclopedic value, and ask other editors to add it to the article if they agree it is appropriate. Thanks. --Siobhan Hansa 11:00, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
