User talk:Gusfer

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then 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. Jespinos 02:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Gusfer. At first glance I removed your links because you were placing links to a site in different aticles wihtout any actual contribution to the articles themselves, which is a very common spam practice in the Wikipedia we are trying to avoid. On a second look, the content of those links you provided is actually valid, as they do hold poems of those writers, but as Jespinos pointed above, not all 'valid' links are desirable. Namely, if the content of the site is illegal (doesn't comply with copyright laws), is in another language, and/or makes heavy use of advertising.
 * The work of writers such as Borges is still copyrihted, but you might consider restoring the links in articles such as Becquer, who has died more than 75 years ago. Nevertheless, I can't guarantee another Wikipedia user will consider the link unappropiate, and will delete it.
 * More importantly, I hope you can contribute to the Wikipedia with content other than links to external links.
 * Good luck, Mariano (t/c) 12:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
