Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 17:27, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, not trying to advertise, just trying to get the Texas Children's Cancer Center out there on relevant links. How do you recommend that we go about doing that?  In order to add an external link does the hospital actually have to be referenced in the Wikipedia Post? --Ellieh23 (talk) 17:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a link directory. I suggest you try dmoz.org. - MrOllie (talk) 17:58, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to use it as a link directory. I'm simply trying to share some of the resources Texas Children's Cancer Center has with people who are using Wikipedia to find information.  I was under the impression that I could put our link in the 'direct links' area as long as it was relevant to the topic of the article.  Apparently this is not the case, so what I'm trying to figure out is, how then do we contribute our knowledge to the wikipedia community?--Ellieh23 (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
