Stop it now
Please stop spamming links to your site all over Wikipedia. Immediately. --Hans Adler (talk) 23:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I am not putting spam anywhere..I am puting a video link for a client of mine from earth tv. Please advise as I am not spam. Rose Borice

Wikipedia is not a web directory. And we have very clear rules for conflicts of interest. --Hans Adler (talk) 00:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I am sorry I am new to wikipedia. I have a client who told me to do this job. I am surpised he did not know he was not able to do this. I don't know the rules. Does the information that I am putting in is considered innacurate? Please advise as I will have to contact my client. Thank you. Rose Borice

Hans please advise. The information I am putting in there is weather and videos of the applicable area. Rose Borice

I am sorry, but Wikipedia has strict rules against link spam. The problem got out of hand, as it was once a great method to improve Google ranks. This had to be approached by a technical solution: External links from Wikipedia no longer affect Google rank, which makes us less attractive for advertising purposes. The links you are adding here would not even be allowed by the Open_Directory_Project, and they are building a web directory.

Thank you Hans. I have send an email to the client and pasted your explanation for him to see it. You live and learn. Rose Borice

I am afraid you will have to tell your customer that what they want is not feasible. You may want to use an analogy with Encylopedia Britannica. They would certainly not systematically mention the touristguides from a certain publisher in the article of every city for which there is one. --Hans Adler (talk) 00:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Hans and my apologies. This is the first time I used Wikipedia. I will advise the client immediately. Rose Borice

No big problem. It is hard to understand how Wikipedia works before you have actually started editing here. Almost everybody here has started by making mistakes. I have started removing the links, and in doing so I will make it clear that you acted in good faith. If your client insists you can try to start a discussion on this topic in order to get a consensus that the links are OK. I honestly think you have no chance, but of course you might want to get a second opinion. You could also try to find an experienced Wikipedian who can advise you about acceptable ways to promote your client's site. --Hans Adler (talk) 00:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Other account?
Hi, did you previously edit under the name Colors99? If not they made some similar edits to you (ie adding the same linkspam). If so, you need to beware of WP:SOCK. Best wishes, --John (talk) 01:01, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
