Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links.

Please stop adding commercial or personal-website links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:16, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Just because you don't charge money doesn't make it not advertising.

 * Erika,
 * The key word in your description of what you're doing is "promote." Regardless of how noble your purpose here, Wikipedia is here to inform, not to promote.  As such, we at least try to maintain standards: only things that are encyclopedic are included.
 * Ask yourself this: would you pick up a copy of the Britannica and expect to see BettyMaker in it?  No.  That's why it's probably inappropriate here at this point.
 * Hope this helps,
