From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greetings. I noticed you added a link to the article on Life Coaching. I have deleted it, and want to bring the following information to your attention in order to prevent you being considered a less-than-ideal Wikipedia editor, and also as an explanation of my actions, since you appear to be a new contributor. Please take this in the spirit in which it's intended:

Links to be avoided, particularly

3. A page that you own or maintain, even if the guidelines above imply that it should be 
linked. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important
and difficult objective at Wikipedia. If your page is relevant and informative, mention it on
the talk page and let unbiased Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link.

5. Links intended to promote a site, especially if that site's primary purpose is to advertise
or sell products or services, or if the site requires payment to view the relevant content.
This is colloquially known as external link spamming.

Your introduction of this link could also be considered linkspamming.

Regards,
