Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. -- Beloved Freak  12:53, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

External links (reply)
Hi, thanks for your message. I don't know if you read the pages I linked to above, What Wikipedia is not and External links, but they go into quite a lot of detail about adding external links. Although your faqs may be very useful, Wikipedia's not supposed to be a collection of links to other websites. If you have useful info that you think is missing from an article, then feel free to add it to the text, using references of course. Articles can easily become swamped by external links, so it's best to keep them to a minimum. If you want to get people's opinions on particular links, I'd bring it up on the article talkpage, or on a project talkpage, like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine. You're more likely to get more people responding there than on a talkpage for a small article. Regards, -- Beloved Freak  19:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
