linking to one's own website
Hi, Boscarol. I notice you've inserted a number of external links to your own website into several articles. You may not be aware that such actions are discouraged. Please consider having a look at External links. -- Rrburke (talk) 14:51, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Some Wikipedia articles have, for many years, a link to my site on Nina Simone. The URL is http://www.boscarol.com/nina Now this website is closed and replaced with another, ie http://www.boscarol.com/ninasimone So I tried to change all references to the old, closed, site to reference to my new site about Nina Simone.

 * I see. In general, adding links to one's own site is discouraged.  But merely updating links already added by other users doesn't strike me as a problem.  However, in this instance there was no pre-existing link and it would probably have been better to leave it to someone else to add such a link.  -- Rrburke (talk) 01:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

OK, thank you. Boscarol (talk) 09:43, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
