[edit] Links
Please note that links added to articles should contain information that complements the article; links to gaming sites, product lists, or retailers are generally avoided. There is an external links policy, as well as a basic document describing "What Wikipedia is not". Review those to understand why your link in the Scopa article was deleted. Thank you.

- Please stop. If you continue to add the scopacards link to the Scopa article, you will be blocked from editing. Further, if this link is added to other Wikipedia articles in any other language, it may be placed on Wikipedia's Spam blacklist, which would prevent any edit containing that link from being saved to the database. You have been asked to review the policies regarding links, and it's clear that you either haven't done so, or are ignoring it. Addition of that link will be reverted without further elaboration.

[edit] About your message
Hi; thanks for your message. As per the policies I've listed above, links to gaming sites are avoided. If there are sub-pages on the scopacards site which are informational, suggest those subpages on the article's talk page (use the discussion tab at the top of the article). and editors will evaluate them. However, keep in mind that pages heavy on advertising etc. and light on content will be rejected.
Regarding your suggestions for improvements, fan clubs, a forum et al would not change the issue, since those are also excluded per policy. Your best bet is to add your site to a web directory, such as dmoz.org, and then link the dmoz subdirectory containing your site to the Wikipedia article.
By the way, here's the current results for scopa on dmoz. It's clearly missing English results, so you can suggest your site. Start from this category to find the most applicable one for your site.
I hope this is helpful. Mindmatrix 14:23, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
