Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Herbalism. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. 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 to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hi Levine2112, Thanks for the lovely welcome and I apologise for placing the link on the 'herbalism' article page. When I saw the link for learningherbs.com there I thought my link would be appropriate as my site has a free articles page to do with herbalism. I take it that the link I put on that page was an 'external link'? Thanks Levine2112 Kind regards, --The Home Herbalist 06:41, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

We try to avoid links to sites that serve a primary commercial purpose rather than a purely informative one. Read more about the policies on External Links and What consitutes spam by following those links respectively. If you see a site which you feel is spam, please remove it but be sure to put a note about your rationale in your edit summary. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Cheers! -- Levine2112 ^discuss 07:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
