Help me!
Please help me with..

I would like to add "https://doyouknowjapan.com/manga/" to the external link of "Manga" wikipedia page, but there is a notification that I need to discuss first on the discussion page. However, I couldn't find the discussion page. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how to discuss in the discussion page of "Manga" wikipedia page. For your information, "Doyouknowjapan.com" is an official website of Japan tourism office and try to describe Japanese culture and History objectively. Thank you.

 * It's located at Talk:Manga. Anytime you visit an article, at the top of the page there are a number of tabs; one being the talk page tab. You may find this video helpful. Mkdw talk 05:35, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Katana. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion, so any further spamming will be regarded as vandalism. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

 * Thank you for your comment. I am a beginner of wikipedia editing, so I guess it wasn't a good manner that I added multiple external links at the same time. However, would you kindly explain why these links are considered as spamming? I think these links contain useful and unique information and many contents will complement each wikipedia article. Also, the website is the new website of the Japan Tourism Agency which is the governmental section of Japan. Moreover, I am not a owner or related person of the website, so it was not my intention to promote the website. As you know, I added one external link of the World Karate Federation to the "Karate" article page also. Please tell me your opinion. Again, thank you very much for your comment.

 * Please see WP:EL
 * We do not want external links. This is an encyclopedia, not a search engine. The web already has plenty of search engines. As an encyclopedia, the articles here should be self contained. If content is needed, it should be added to the article, not referenced elsewhere. ELs are only justified in articles if they link to something that cannot be added to the article, usually because of copyright.
 * The articles you have linked are very lightweight introductions to a topic. They might suffice for a simple tourist explanation, but they are below the standard of an encyclopedia article. They certainly do not add anything additional to an encyclopedia article. Because of this, they do not belong here.
 * I see no evidence that this is an official website of the Japanese government. I believe that the Japanese government would do a better job of such a website, and particularly they would use a better translation into English. Your claim, "it was not my intention to promote the website" is not credible, when you appear as a new editor and then proceed to do nothing but adding a large number of links to the same website. I am saddened that you consider me such a fool as to think I might believe that. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:30, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comment. I understand your opinion and the rules of the wikipedia. I completely agreed to revert the pages. Here, please understand that I am not lying. As I have been introduced the website directly from an officer in Japan Tourism Agency in Tokyo, the website is official. I didn't notice the bad English quality of the website, but as native English speaker says, I would advise them to improve the English quality when I have an opportunity. I would like to contribute wikipedia especially in the field of Japanese culture and history as I am Japanese, so I will learn first. I will not add the external links. Anyway, thank you very much.Chiriqui-david (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
