Welcome!
Hello, Intellibob, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes; specifically, adding bestfreenewgames.com and rexinfo.org external links to multiple articles. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Schazjmd  (talk)  16:42, 20 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Schazjmd,
 * Thank you for your message and the information.
 * It is not my intent to spam links. The two website links I added are both strictly non-commercial. Neither sells anything. (Please feel free to visit them and verify this.)
 * The rexxinfo.org website I added to the rexx topics is one of the top three most visited in the world on that topic.
 * Most of the bestfreenewgames.com website links replaced dead links for the same webpages that used to be hosted at the now-dead website called cardsanddominoes.com. Those links have been on Wikipedia for years.
 * Anyway, thank you for the heads-up. Going forward I won't add any links (other than those to Wikipedia articles).
 * Hopefully I will gain your trust over time, and someday you'll permit me to add links to non-commercial websites that are considered authoritative in their field.
 * Thank you for the time you take in keeping Wikipedia a safe and useful place. Intellibob (talk) 20:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Both domains are associated with "Howard Fosdisk", and they're the only sites you've added to articles, either as references or as external links, so I'm sure you can see how that looks. Spam links don't need to be to commercial sites; often, people adding them are simply trying to improve the SEO for their site. Schazjmd   (talk)  13:47, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok, I understand.
 * I'll avoid posting external links in either footnotes (references) and External Links.
 * I'm very sorry to have caused any problem. Thank you for your time. Intellibob (talk) 14:52, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
