Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to PHP-Nuke. 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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy 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, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 18:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

We are aware of the fact that this is not a link dumping place but these sites are respected php-nuke community websites. Most of them belong in this external link list or what i called "PHP-Nuke Resouces" list. Please visit these links before you delete them. No, i DO NOT do it for PR increase. I already left a MSG in "talk". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astalavistabd (talk • contribs) 18:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I believe the official site and dmoz are sufficient. If you wish to followup, go to WT:WPSPAM#PHP-Nuke where I have asked for other opinions. I'll go along with whatever consensus develops there. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 18:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

As i said before and i am saying it again. I do not know why you guys don't get it. This is not SPAM or internet marketing. It's not going to help me to get better PR either. But if you have a phpnuke resource listing as a phpnuke script developers for more than 2 years or so i/we deserve to be in that list. If you have a phpnuke page in wikipedia.org, you do not need to give 3/4 links to phpnuke.org site by itself or show people where else phpnuke.org is listed (BTY phpnuke.org is PR8 so of course it will be listed many places including dmoz, yahoo & places like wiki).

My final saying is that i understand you guys are doing a good job by keeping wiki spam free but information that is ralated to the topic must have it's place in the same page. YOU EITHER REMOVE THE COMPLETE "External links" SECTION OR ALLOW PHP-NUKE RELATED, DEDICATED SITES THERE.
