User talk:Altinkumdidim

November 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Altınkum do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

The existing map on the wiki page is very general and I thought my link was helpful as it was placed in the Location section. I did not add any text to try to promote anything, I simply used the existing word Altinkum as the anchor. There are already links in the Local News articles section which are to commercial websites, I did not feel I was doing anything different in adding a link to what I thought was a helpful web page on a commercial site. If it was not relevant to the context I could readily understand the objection. I am aware that links from Wikipaedia are nofollow.
