Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. &mdash; Moondyne 01:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Linkspam
''Hello, Which "spam" are you referring to? I did not post any spam anywhere, I added a helpful link to Wiki links, it wasn't spamming, only resourceful.''


 * Hello Compman12, Edits such as this and this are considered as spam. Those articles already have sufficient external links - for guidance I suggest you read WP:EL.  The critical thing is, Wikipedia is not a link directory - it is an encyclopaedia with articles with concise of relevant explanations written in encyclopaedic style.  The Internet has plenty of tools to help people find adware and spyware programs - try Google for one, else  try DMOZ which specialises in providing lists of categorised links.


 * Wikipedia is a target for commercial spammers who place links into articles solely for commercial gain by raising their Pagerank and attracting visitors. Accordingly we have to be strict about enforcing our external links policy.


 * I suggest you try contributing to Wikipedia by editing some articles rather than simple link placement. &mdash; Moondyne 01:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
