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, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. 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. Thank you.

You have been adding several sites that looke very similar among them: keywords in the domain name, similar layout, short content that adds nothing that wasn't already in the article, for example http://www.holepunchclouds.com, http://www.fallstreakholesclouds.com in Fallstreak_hole and http://www.growingearththeory.com in Expanding Earth. You also added links to personal sites, and links to youtube videos by Neal Adams, see (Neal_Adams). Please stop doing that. The external links section is for links of high quality that include stuff that can't go into the article for whatever the reason, it's not for promoting websites or your favourite author.

Sorry, just added links of the subjects so people would not have to search elsewhere because people have to go on to other sites to find more information, especially images. Although Wiki is great its main problem is that its rules and regs articles about what to do and not to do are a disaster to find and read. Thanks for pointing stuff out to someone still new to this.

And as to Neal Adams he is the growing earth theory movement at the moment, everything else in that article is old. If i added the link to "Present day advocates" section would that be acceptable as it is a reference of sorts? As you are talking about his videos then a link to them has to be acceptable?
