Links
I notice that you have added your external links at Tao Te Ching and Taoism and Laozi again. Please be aware that a large number of people try to promote their web site by adding links here, so many regular editors do not support the addition of new links unless there is a good reason (see WP:EL). In particular, adding the same link twice in one article is never going to be accepted, and putting your link at the top of an existing list of links is probably going to be reverted. There may very well be a reason for your link to be in these articles, but it would be helpful to avoid looking as if you might be trying to promote a web site.

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. Johnuniq (talk) 00:34, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
