Adding links
Hi Mark,

Can you help me adding my links to wikipedia? Or do you have any tips?


 * Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately the links you have added so far are not permitted. Under the "Links normally to be avoided" section of External links, the links to commercial ticket websites violates the following: "Links that are added to promote a site, that primarily exist to sell products or services, with objectionable amounts of advertising.... colloquially known as external link spamming."
 * You are very welcome to add content to these articles. If you have any questions post them below or leave a message on my talk page. Best regards, Mark83 16:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. Is there another option to get these links on Wikipedia?(maybe linkexchange) Or can I make my own article and then put the sites there??


 * I'm really sorry but I don't see how. A link to a ticket site is obviously commercial. Links in Wikipedia should only contribute further to the reader's understanding of the subject, for example (in the Formula One context) a link to the the ITV F1 website. Although it is a commercial site it is one of the major F1 news sources on the net and also contains some information on the season, track guides etc. Creating an article about F1TICKETS.com is certain to be deleted very quickly. If you've any further questions I'll do my best to answer them. Best regards, Mark83 17:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
