Please do not add advertising or 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 rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

The above seems contradictory, as most film pages include external links to IMDb, Box Office Mojo, Rotten Tomatoes and the film's own homepage, which exists solely to promote a commercial product. Can you reconcile this? Dmc8ride (talk) 15:08, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, the official page of a product is appropriate to include as it provides "official" information, even if there is a clear bias. This can be helpful to readers. The sites you have listed have been agreed after discussion within the community as sites that contain helpful information to the reader, which already has large amounts of coverage - many if not most readers will have already heard of them.
 * The issue with your site is that adding it to wikipedia would promote your site significantly, making it a form of advertising. We have more information about this at WP:ADVERTISING. Hopefully that answers your question, but if not, feel free to give me a shout.  WormTT   &middot; &#32;(talk) 18:07, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
