[edit] Welcome!

Hello, Ejakabo, Welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope you like working here and want to continue. If you need help on how to name new articles, look at the Guide to Layout, and for help on formatting the pages visit the Manual of Style. If you need general help, look at Help and the FAQ, and if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and the Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal — and if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my New-Users' Talk Page.
Additional tips:

Here are some extra tips to help you get around Wikipedia:
  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills, try the Sandbox.
  • Click on the Edit button on a page, and look at how other editors did what they did.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like this: ~~~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Always sign comments on Talk pages, never sign Articles.
  • You might want to add yourself to the New User Log
  • If your first language isn't English, try Wikipedia:Contributing to articles outside your native language
  • Full details on Wikipedia style can be found in the Manual of Style.
There's also a regular group introduction to Wikipedia for new users on IRC.
Happy editing!

[edit] External links

You appear to be adding a number of links to the same web site. This tends to give the impression that you are promoting a site with which you are affiliated, which is considered spamming. You would be wise if you didn't add any more links to this web site to Wikipedia. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About Spamming

I'm a little bit confused about this spamming thing.

If; I have only 3 or 4 pictures in my artist's gallery, and in this situation if, i try to the give several links to my site, Yess, it was spamming ...

But, The links I gave is full of content.(By the way, i didn't give my homepage link to WİKİ page, I give the direct link to artist's gallery) If, a person search "Pablo Picasso" in WİKİ, he/she not looking only information, also want to see his works and paintings, rihgt ? In my site, Pablo Picasso Gallery has 115 paintings, all of them has big dimension. Don't you think, person coming my site from WİKİ are satisfied after examine our gallery ?

If a person give a link with of contents in "WİKİ External Links", it is not spamming, it is sharing, i tihnk :)

remember Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a link farm. These are for your review. Spam policy, What Wikipedia is not, External links policy thanks --Hu12 10:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

To clarify: it's not the content of the Web site that matters, but the fact that it's yours, and that you're adding it to a lot of articles. The general rule is that, if a site is worth linking to, then someone will link to it — you don't have to. If you think that it's appropriate to link to your site, place it at the article's Talk page, and ask other editors to review it. If they agree that a link should be added, they'll do it. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:40, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for advices

I think, people use WİKİ for finding what that need. I only try to give those people a link can find what they need. By the way, you were right at some points too :) From now on, i use article's Talk page and suggest my site to editors. I hope, suggesting links in several article in recent time isn't illegal in Wiki. Happy Editing :) Ejakabo 13:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

As far as I'm conerned, it doesn't matter at how many Talk pages you suggest your site; I'm pretty sure that there's no policy or guideline that limits it. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 13:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Be mindful of WP:SPAM#Canvassing, aggressive Campaigning in all forms, is generaly frowned upon. so be selective where you choose to suggest the site. --Hu12 15:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

That's right, of course. Just mention your site and give the link, asking if editors would be willing to add it. You shouldn't say anything further (unless you're asked), and you should only suggest it on the Talk pages of articles to which it's directly relevant. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
