Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Tytonidae. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Ucucha 15:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. As you may understand, we get a lot of people at Wikipedia wanting links to their websites and we're generally wary of that - a lot don't add much substance. But the site you are linking to does seem to provide quite some useful information, and I'd be in favor of keeping it on the Barn Owl page, though not on the two others where you added it, as the site is only about the Barn Owl (Tyto alba) and those articles cover broader topics. What do you think of that?
 * I hope that you'll keep making useful contributions to Wikipedia. Best, Ucucha 18:41, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks again. Although the page does have some information on other owls, as you say, it is not that much, and Owl already has a lot of external links (too many, I think - someone will have to clean that up). Therefore, I would prefer not to have the link there, but you are of course free to ask other editors for their opinion at Talk:Owl. Ucucha 19:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
