Hello, I'm Oknazevad. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. oknazevad (talk) 07:21, 30 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello. Could you let me know what specifically you deleted so I can avoid the same mistake in the future.  Thanks. Hawkjeremy14 (talk) 10:41, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll assume good faith here and assume you really are confused on what you did wrong, despite the fact that you added the same external link ten times. So, to be clear, the next time you spam an article with a link to thewhiskeyfool.com, you will be blocked. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 16:33, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Understood. I really am new to this and only started several months ago.  learning along the way.  I see lots of references to whiskey articles on various pages.  Is it ok to add new products that distilleries are producing with a reference back to my article that discusses those products.    Hawkjeremy14 (talk) 07:22, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * No. You have a clear WP:COI and adding/mentioning your article on your website is WP:SPAM. Doing this will get you blocked. If there are other Wikipedia articles that link to sites like yours, they should also be removed. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 12:35, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok. Apologies for the inconvenience.  One last question.  I do have a large knowledge base when it comes to bourbon and the various distilleries.  I have noted a lot of outdated information and gaps in information on most of the major distilleries pages.  I see how adding an external link directly to the article body is spammy.  If I am able to add useful/updated information would that be appropriate?  For example:
 * Elijah Craig released Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B518 in May of 2018 the whiskey has gone on to win multiple awards...etc.[21] with my article on the reference page?  Hawkjeremy14 (talk) 03:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * No. Do NOT add a link your site. Do not add it as an external link. Do not add it as a reference. Full stop. Everything must be verifiable and backed up by reliable sources. This means that you can't add information that "you know", just because you may be an expert. Nothing should be added without a reliable source (make sure to click that link and read it). In fact, if you find something that is not reliably sourced, you can feel free to remove it. Again, forget about using your website, your friends website, a blog, someone's bourbon YouTube channel (unless it's an official channel of the distillery or a news outlet), or anything else you're associated with.
