[edit] External links

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in House (TV series). Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines. 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. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. --Yamla 18:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

You said: "TV Squad is no more commercial of a website than several other links listed in the 'External links' section of the [[House {TV Series)]] page. TV Squad provides detailed reviews of every episode of House, so I truly believe this to be a service to fans of the show. I'll bring it up in the Talk page for House."

I don't think TV Squad is a website run by you (or otherwise directly associated with you). If it is, however, then you must not add any links to it to the Wikipedia regardless of any other rationale. See WP:SPAM and WP:NOT. Assuming it isn't, though, then you should read WP:EL for guidelines. Wikipedia generally does not want external links (again, see WP:NOT) but in very rare cases, an external link may be acceptable. In my opinion, TV Squad is not sufficiently valuable to merit an exception to this but I am not the only person you need to convince. Add a note about this link to the talk page for House and if the consensus is that it would be a valuable addition, I will fully support your addition of the link to that article. --Yamla 14:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
