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. andy (talk) 23:15, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Micropublishing. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. andy (talk) 23:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Andy, My apologies for seemly doing wrong in editing the Micropublishing article. My intents were fairness, and were based on your first editorial that Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising or promotion. Since external links to companies providing micropublishing services should not be part of the article, shouldn't the same apply to companies with internal Wikipedia links? I am just trying to improve the article to discuss what micropublishing is and how micropublishing is evolving to meet the demands of our rapidly changing digital media world. To make the article fair and objective, no companies should be listed. FreePressForever (talk) 00:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)Lisa


 * You should read wikipedia's rules on external links at WP:EL. An internal link to a pre-existing article is a different matter altogether - the assumption is that these articles have been scrutinised and are not promotional. Their presence in the article is illustrational. andy (talk) 00:13, 3 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I do understand. Thank you.  I will begin compiling factual information about other micro-publishers, obtain their permission, and develop articles for each of them for Wikipedia. FreePressForever (talk) 00:27, 3 March 2010 (UTC)Lisa


 * Please remember that any article has to satisfy wikipedia's policies, particularly WP:N and WP:RS andy (talk) 11:53, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
