Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.  MrOllie (talk) 22:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)


 * There was nothing inappropriate with the citation that was left. If you re referring to:
 * Reference spamming: Sometimes editors add citations to sources in contexts or volumes that make other editors suspect that the main goal is promoting the author or the work being cited, rather than impartially providing a relevant citation.
 * Then I will add information without citations. Thank you for your input. Andrew Dale NY (talk) 17:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Adding information without citations is also not acceptable per WP:V. Have a read of WP:RS and use something that meets the encyclopedia's sourcing requirements, like a book from a major publisher or a newspaper article. The link you added was obvious spam - we do not use web stores or other forms of advertising as sources. MrOllie (talk) 17:45, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
