Hello, I'm DVdm. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Solenoid 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.

 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Solenoid. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 23:17, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Solenoid. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. - DVdm (talk) 14:45, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Note: I replied to your query at User talk:DVdm. - DVdm (talk) 16:30, 20 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Please stop inserting your own comments to Why is Wikipedia losing contributors - Thinking about remedies. I understand your frustration, but unfortunately, as a matter of policy Wikipedia only includes material that has been published in reputable reliable sources, e.g. published material in an academic journal. For this reason, we cannot include your PDFs. Mz7 (talk) 22:12, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
