Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 for advertising or promotion. Since 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

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 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. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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. --DAJF (talk) 11:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Dave The link was placed there as a reference as to where the material I added came from. Isn't that what I'm meant to do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apengineering (talk • contribs) 11:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Certainly Wikipedia editors are encouraged to make sure that material added includes reference sources for verification, but there is a problem when links to commercial sites are added to articles purely for promotional purposes. As mentioned above, I suggest you read through the relevant guidelines at External links and Spam. Also, if you are closely involved with an organization that is mentioned in articles or links, I would strongly recommend reading through the Conflict of Interest guidelines too. These should help you avoid any problems in the future. --DAJF (talk) 12:49, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
