Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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 article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  Them From  Space  09:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I understand that links are no follow and they are not being inserted for this reason. The Classic Car page that I frequently visit has content that is relevant to the cars in the encyclopedia. Instead of copying the information directly into the page I am providing an external link to this information and reviews. Carcollector2010 (talk) 10:08, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * You may be adding the link in good faith, but unfortunately the link is still inconsistent with Wikipedia guidelines. I suggest looking at the guideline on external links to avoid, particularly point 5. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:24, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I can see that point 5 refers to sites with advertising and sales etc. However the site still contains a lot of information, car specs, reviews, images of the car in question. Carcollector2010 (talk) 10:29, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, sales promotional material frequently does. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
