Spamming music pages
There's quite an active campaign by Wikipedia editors to actively remove spam links to external website. The policy is to add external links to sites that are directly relevant to the article, ie information from the wesbite is quoted directly in the article. I don't want you to make lots of edits that will only be reverted. Regards. Escaper7 11:56, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately Wikipedia is obsessed with policies and guides and all sorts of things that have to be followed in order to create an independent source of knowledge. I edit a lot of BBC and music and dj pages and if I added the "BBC listen again" link, that would also be classed as spamming.  External links are meant to relate specifically to content in the article.  I'm sure the site you added is legitimate but how notable is it?  Not very, becasue anyone can set up an internet based radio station - I know several djs who have, anyone can publish music on MySpace, or videos on UTube - but that doesn't make it credible.  There are a lot of niche articles, poorly supported by facts that just attract ads for online radio stations.  If it's not me, then it will be someone else reverting your edits, and if you keep adding them, you'll get vandalism warnings then the admins will block you and your otherwise valuable contributions will be lost. If you think an online radio station is notable - create an article on it.  It will either get deleted or expanded, so that can also mean you find out the hard way.  It's very easy to find out if a user has added links repeatedly to different pages - they are guaranteed to be reverted straight away.  Try and find a quote from your website, and work it into the article - believe me, I'm trying to help you A) because I'm a music fan and B) because I know how frustrating it can be.  Regards.
