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) 12:36, 4 August 2023 (UTC)


 * This was not meant to be an inapproriate link or promotion. When working on an article about Mount Tecumseh I realized that two of the 3 links on the wikipedia page for the mountain are dead links (both of them appeared to be hiking guides to the mountain).  As I write extensive hiking guides, specifically in the White Mountains, it seemed this link was approriate as it provides details for people on hiking the mountain which is one of the main reasons people are searching for information on the mountain in the first place.  It was never meant as promotion as a no-follow link does nothing for the site and was just meant as a resource. Of course it can be removed if it does not add value but there should be a link on a page like this for information on hiking the mountain.  This is the first edit I've ever made to Wikipedia and the only reason I did it was that I noticed the links were dead.  Is it better to just delete the dead links or provide new links to up to date hiking guides? Gstuppy (talk) 14:35, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
