Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it.  MrOllie (talk) 12:56, 4 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi. To explain, by way of context I'm developer of the Intermorphic and SSEYO software. I've been active in the field for 30+ years. I think that the information I've provided is of historical relevance. If you can advise me how I could modify the text to make it more suitable, I'd be very interested to know and I can make suggested changes. I'm not a regular Wiki contributor, and am not an Editor (and have no interest in being such) so am not really familiar with ways of editing; I just thought it would be useful for me to make a contribution in an area in which I'm a domain expert.

 * In that case, also see WP:COI and WP:PAID. By making that edit you were violating Wikipedia's terms of use. I don't think there is any way to make a selection of promotional links and advertisements like that more suitable. MrOllie (talk) 13:10, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi MrOllie. How should I contribute the information provided in the article (historical information on important apps in the Generative Music subject area); would I simply need to remove the external links? Or, is that simply not allowed at all because I'm a domain expert with familiarity with the software in question? It would be a shame if I can't add what I consider to be useful info - but rules are rules. Thanks in advance. Genmus (talk) 14:28, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No, as a paid editor you should read the guidelines I just linked carefully. You must make certain mandatory disclosures and you must make suggestions on the article talk page rather than editing it yourself. Keep in mind that the purpose of Wikipedia is not to make lists of vendors or software products. MrOllie (talk) 15:22, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
