Hello, I'm Isabelle Belato. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Laser rangefinder because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. wjematherplease leave a message... 07:32, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Indoor golf. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

 * What was wrong with the link to indoor golf? Craigfbarnard (talk) 17:15, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It would appear that you are attempting to promote your websites (fungolf, findindoorgolf, etc.) by inserting links to them. In addition, such websites are not considered reliable sources, so cannot be used to support article content. wjematherplease leave a message... 17:24, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok my apologies, I thought the information on the sites provided good context for a citation especially the one linked to today. Having reviewed some of the pages linked to on other wiki pages many links are low quality. Although it is my site I the content is actually very suitable in comparison. Thanks Craigfbarnard (talk) 17:28, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This is a perfect example: Miniature golf as is this: Miniature golf
 * I will bear your feedback in mind for future. Thanks Craigfbarnard (talk) 17:39, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing those out, they're spam too and I've removed them and others. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:41, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
