Link spam
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.

I have acted on feedback
I have removed links to commercial sites from my contribution to the economy section of the Leicestershire and Leicester pages. Actually I authored the economy sections of those pages which previous to my intervention had little more than links to statistics tables. There was never any intention to "advertise", rather to direct Wikipedia users to legitimate public domain information about the companies mentioned - however in light of the instability of commercial websites the Wiki policy does appear to make sense and I have removed the so-called "link-spam" from my content.Dewey101 14:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
