Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. Radio Kirk   talk to me  00:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * ''Dear Radiokirk,


 * I've recently added links to luxury car pages here on Wikipedia. You said that I was "posting commercial links" or "links to my own personal website". I do not actually see it as this, because, although they are to my own personal website, I am not trying to use Wikipedia as a source of advertising or anything such as that, I just think that the pages I link to (which, by the way, are different pages according to the different vehicles) add to the information you give here on Wikipedia. I don't think they are commercial links, because, I don't gain anything from them. I, once again, just think that they "aid" your Wikipedia articles. I would edit the articles with the information from my website, but then that would pretty much make my website useless. I just don't see what the big deal is if they are not spam, because they do relate to the specfic automobile being mentioned, and are not "commercial" websites any more than the rest of the websites on any of the external links sections of one of the automobile pages are.

 * Please see External links points 2, 3 and 9. Radio  Kirk   talk to me  00:41, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Great point, but I just thought aiding the article wouldn't be that bad. I thought of it as more of this, as seen on the External links page, point 5 under "What should be linked to". It reads, "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material not already in the article. Ideally this content should be integrated into the Wikipedia article, then the link would remain as a reference, but in some cases this is not possible for copyright reasons or because the site has a level of detail which is inappropriate for the Wikipedia article. And, have you actually visited any of the pages before deeming them "commercial links" or "spam"?? No advertising, just tons of specifications & information about the car, that couldn't possibly all be included in the Wikipedia articles. DJ 00:46, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The two fatal flaws with the site are: 1) Google ads&mdash;these are an absolute no-no under any circumstances as they clearly indicate an effort to profit from your visitors; and 2) The site appears to exist not to provide an encyclopedic description (this is what it is, this is why it exists, this is why it's relevant) of the items, but selling points (this is why you might want to buy this). I understand why you want links, but it can't happen at Wikipedia, sorry. Radio  Kirk   talk to me  00:55, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Fine. And, just to let you know, I operate off a free web host. They put the ads at the bottom of all my pages, they're the ones making the profit. Not me, them. 216.164.19.61 02:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry to read that. Get a cheap no-ads host, put on your own ads, get reciprocal links with similar websites, and make a few bucks yourself. :) Radio  Kirk   talk to me  02:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
