Welcome!
Hello, DCRTUK, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Katieh5584 (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2014 (UTC) Hi. The link I added to the page Ogof Ffynnon Ddu was to videos of the cave system, admittedly created by me, however I can see no difference between this link and the 2 already there - to South Wales Caving Club and the virtual tour of the cave created by Peter Collings-Wells. Are these not promotional to? My videos are not monetised. DCRTUK (talk) 21:11, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

If they are your videos, then I suggest upload them to Wikimedia so that all users can see them on the page. See Media help. Note also that External links should be limited to a bare minimum.

 * Also, Collings-Wells and the South Wales Caving Club are explicitly credited by the BBC. That's enough of an endorsement to justify linking to their websites. Huon (talk) 22:02, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Katieh5584. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Ogof Craig a Ffynnon, because they seemed to be 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. Katieh5584 (talk) 19:52, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ogof Craig a Ffynnon. 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. Katieh5584 (talk) 19:56, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
