Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Empty string. 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 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 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ''This also applies to the other additions of Amazon links to the same books into various articles. Please do not add the link to any other Wikipedia pages without discussion.  bonadea'' contributions talk 08:56, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
 * Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ) to automatically insert your username and the date.
 * Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
 * Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
 * Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
 * When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
 * Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
 * Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
 * If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
 * If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.


 * I am sorry you have not enjoyed your introduction to Wikipedia, and I know firsthand that it can be difficult when you first start out and don't know the rules, but I hope you'll still want to join in. Check out some of the links above for a quick guide to what you need to know, and let me know if you need any help. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 11:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Your links
Once again, please do not add links to Wikipedia pages, including talk pages, without discussion. Amazon.com product links are almost never OK to add to any pages, but if you want to add it, it's not a good idea to just add the link without any comment, because that looks as if you are trying to promote the book. That might be completely wrong, maybe you have no particular interest in that book at all, but that's what it looks like when you add a link to a talk page without any explanatory text. --bonadea contributions talk 12:47, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
