User talk:174.91.69.169

January 2023
Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Newmarket, Ontario because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:08, 17 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi! thanks for letting me know. Can you let me know how or why the link is inappropriate? It links to NewmarketToday.ca's homepage, under the media section about the city, which I thought was fair. Am I wrong? Let me know and thanks in advance. 174.91.69.169 (talk) 21:13, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It's not necessary to create an entirely new section to link to include a link to an external publication. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:15, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough about the external links, but there was no media section. Other cities have media sections so I don't think it is unreasonable to have one. 174.91.69.169 (talk) 21:24, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * That's fine, but please see WP:External links before adding again. Philipnelson99 (talk) 21:26, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Orillia. 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. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:13, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
