Please do not add 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 article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Re-adding your website spam as an image credit is still spam. I would suggest that you address the image tagging problem instead of continuing to advertise your site, as it stands it is due to be deleted. Vsmith 01:49, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Reply to your questions
Hi, I hadn't noticed the NASA credits - but, NASA material is in the public domain with no commercial implications, so that would seem to put them in a different category - I may be wrong though. The credit that you included was to your (I presume) commercial website which offers meteorites for sale and thus brings up conflict of interest problems. I hope you can see the logic I'm using here, Wikipedia is not for promotional or advertizing purposes. As for your images Image:Meteorcrater-rim.jpg and Image:Canyon-diablo-meteorite.jpg please see the pink speedy deletion notice on each and revise the copyright tags, see the Image copyright tags page for information. You have added a couple of excellent images and I would rather they weren't deleted unless you simply cannot comply with the required licensing. Thank you, Vsmith 02:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Meteorite-hunters-full.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Meteorite-hunters-full.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
