Wilson Phillips
Why you delete the external link to wilsonphillips.net in wilsonphillips article ???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thezoggy (talk • contribs) 19:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I deleted it because it is essentially a spam link. According to Wikipedia's content guidelines on external links (External links), fansites should not be linked, unless the site is written by a recognized expert. (The specific portion of the guideline is number 5 on this list.) I don't mean to come off as a jerk, but you are not a recognized expert on Wilson Phillips.


 * A brief review of your editing history indicates that you have a rather narrow focus on Wendy Wilson (all of your edits save the link addition to Wilson Phillips, one edit to The Wilsons, and your post here). Quite a number of your edits have involved the addition of external links which you apparently maintain, which is also an issue under the External links guidelines. This section explicitly states that you should not add links to any site which you own, maintain, or represent. I have also removed the link you have repeatedly added to the Wendy Wilson article, and the two links you added to The Wilsons. Please do not restore the links.

OK thanks, but where I can put that links? if You look at the sites you'll find that there are no advertising or spam issues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thezoggy (talk • contribs) 21:19, 11 April 2010 (UTC)


 * That is the point; it is a conflict of interest to add links to your own websites, and more importantly, your sites do not meet the requirements for external links on Wikipedia. They are simply fan sites, like many others out there.  Horologium  (talk) 23:54, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

OK I understood, sorry I just didn't read the rules. Thanks for the explanations Bye.
