Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Web Summit. 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. Annh07 (talk) 04:43, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Annh07,
 * I understand your concerns about the external link I added to the Web Summit article. I appreciate you taking the time to review it. My intention was to provide readers with updated information about Web Summit's new event in Qatar, particularly in light of the recent controversies surrounding the CEO. I believe this source, https://www.rasmal.com/web-summit-qatar-2024/, offers a relevant perspective from a tech news website focusing on the region. I understand that Rasmal might not be a commonly used source on Wikipedia.
 * I'm open to considering alternative sources if you have suggestions for more established publications covering this specific event. Perhaps we could focus on incorporating the relevant information without the link, if that aligns with the policy guidelines. I'm committed to improving the Web Summit article and providing factual information for readers. I would appreciate it if we could discuss this further on the article's talk page or through your preferred communication channel. Thank you for your time and consideration.

 * Hi Abdulqavi11,
 * Rasmal is a blog, not a reliable source. Blogs are generally unacceptable, please read WP:UGC and WP:NOBLOGS. I encourage you to look for more reliable sources. Annh07 (talk) 06:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Annh07,
 * I appreciate your feedback on Rasmal and understand concerns about using blogs as sources. However, I found them listed on Google News and their 'About Us' page describes them as a news website. While they are a relatively new platform, I felt their regional focus offered a specific perspective on Web Summit Qatar.
 * In response to your recommendation, I've also added TechCrunch as a more established source to support the information.
 * I'm open to further discussion and finding the most reliable sources for this topic. Would you be open to discussing this on the article's talk page or another preferred platform?
 * Thank you for your time and insights! AbdulQavi (talk) 07:40, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
