Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Small business. 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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. 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. Thank you. Gscshoyru 18:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Adding the link to your website is seen as promotion which is spam. By the way,I can't change the rules here. WP:SPAM explains it better. Thanks AngelOfSadness  talk  18:09, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

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

Hi, Thanks for leaving a message on my talk page. Your link wasn't taken down because we thought it was selling something, it was taken down because it appeared to be spam and did not fall within our guidelines. Wikipedia is not an appropriate place to try to promote your organization, even if it's a nonprofit. While we welcome editors who are here to improve the encyclopaedia, we ask people not to add their own websites directly to the articles. -- SiobhanHansa 21:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
