 * The link to the blog sat for over a decade untouched. The link to smashwords has been removed. 148.170.182.154 (talk) 20:39, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Carny. Wikipedia is not a collection of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links may include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:36, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Carny. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

 * It's not my blog. I added it over a decade ago and it was fine. Only when I added the smashwords link was there a problem. 148.170.182.154 (talk) 20:48, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Got it. It's probably still not appropriate though. IronGargoyle (talk) 20:52, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It is, and it's relevant. I should never have added his smashwords link. It was never intended as a promotion for his blog. Kevin Morra isn't even aware that I know of that a link to his blog is here. As I said, it sat fine for over a decade. 148.170.182.154 (talk) 21:04, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
