User talk:Charlie silva

I'm regret you think I am putting spam on wikipedia. I only wanted to bring attention to wiki users a story about kimono which until I heard it yesterday was unaware of. I now know it is a common fable in Japan but not so in the western world. It thought it was of interest to western users. The fact it is on a website selling kimono is of no interest to me. I don't own the website where the story is on. I followed all the other external links on the wiki kimono page and noticed several of the them link to commercial sites. Is there a reason why you removed my edit and not other links which are blatant advertising for websites selling kimono. Charlie silva (talk) 09:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)charlie silva

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Kimono 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 constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 18:01, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
