Hotel Casablanca
Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks.

Your edits to Hotel Casablanca are clearly violating Wikipedia rules against advertisement and as such are unwelcome. Pascal.Tesson 19:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Removal of AfD tag
Please do not remove AfD tags as you did in the HKHotels article. This is considered vandalism. Also, the content that you added in that case was not written in with an unbiased, neutral point of view and most probably was in violation of copyrights. Pascal.Tesson 20:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks.

Help me
Yesterday was my first day on wikipedia and I would like to know how to do it right. I did see that other hotels, like the Algonquin had their website links so I thought that was allowed. If not, I would be happy to rewrite. I did read many of the pages on what you are supposed to do. You say it is clearly a violation, but I don't think it is so clear to be honest. Can you please advise me regarding what I added, exactly what kind of information is allowed and is not allowed and that is what I will do. Also, I did read that you were not supposed to take out the part about it being considered for deletion and so I added my text above the writing but did not delete that writing that was already there. If it did get deleted, I truely do not know how and it was not intentional.

We don't mean for it to be like an ad, but as long as your readers want to know about NYC hotels, we would like you to have the most complete and accurate information you will allow us to provide.

The general feeling seems to be that the Casablanca Hotel isn't notable enough for inclusion. We don't have specific guidelines for hotels, but you can read our guidelines regarding companies here.

Some advice
Hi. You should probably take a look at WP:NOT WP:VAIN and WP:SPAM to familiarize yourself with what is and what is not acceptable concerning posting external links and developing entries per your commercial interests. Also places like WP:CORP and WP:HOTELS should give you an idea of what is considered to be content of notability and WP:AFDP concerning precedents of what has and has not been considered as valuable info for Wikipedia. In particular that page clearly explains that client-oriented information about a hotel belongs at WikiTravel. And don't worry, our readers are not here to get information on where to stay in NYC. They come here to read relevant, neutral-point-of-view information about subjects of encyclopedic interest. Pascal.Tesson 15:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Woah, we may soon have a hotel guideline! Thanks for getting that started Pascal. &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull;(talk) 15:38, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
