Would you mind doing me a favor and reading these two over? Thanks. Quadzilla99 01:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Hou Hsiao-Hsien filmography
Please do not add links to your book to all of the articles on his films. That is considered spam and is against our external links guideline, not to mention it is not an appropriate link in the first place since it not a site that "provides a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article". (Especially since it is just a publisher link) While I'm sure your book is a great scholarly resource, you possess a conflict of interest and should refrain from adding content related to it directly. Instead you should suggest it on the talk page or let the value of your work speak for itself and wait until other editors utilize it. Please let me know if you have any questions or need clarification on any of these points. Thank you. Opencooper (talk) 07:44, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi, you have added the link back to two articles. I strongly recommend against ignoring my advice above and instead you should carefully read all three guidelines I linked, as well as this one for further reading sections and conflicts of interest. If you continue to disregard my message and refuse to utilize talk pages for discussion, you will lose editing privileges. Opencooper (talk) 17:45, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
