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.

In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

If you upload an image, remember that you need to license it. Meaning that you need to release it's rights under some license otherwise wikipedia can't use it. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 13:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I can add a tag to it if you want. Do you want to release it to public domain? Wikidudeman ^(talk) 13:14, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Boerboel links

First off, please remember to sign all talk posts with four tildes (~).

Second, it seems pretty clear to me that the community has summarily rejected the links you want to add as inappropriate. You may want to again read and review the guidelines for external links. VanTucky ^(talk) 17:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
