Your edit to Sodium chloride
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked indefinitely without further warning.

Link: 3d model of lattice

Please stop adding links to your web pages to Wikipedia articles. Persistent addition of personal sites is considered spam, even if you don't make any money from it. Kafziel Talk 14:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I honestly don't understand why the addition of a link showing a 3d model of the entry in question is not useful. What is it about it that you find spam:ish? Please clarify what motivated you to remove the links. Jlindbergh 16:05, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I gave you two warnings:
 * a) You were adding this links to a number of pages. Which is, under the wikipedia definition, spam (see WP:SPAM, specifically WP:SPAM and WP:SPAM).  As WP:NOT states, wikipedia is not a linkfarm, though some links may be welcome, if they add to the document.  That may be the case for these links (though I don't think they will pass WP:EL), but
 * b) you have a conflict of interest. You are the maintainer of those pages.
 * Therefore we ask you to stop adding these links. Hope this explains, have a nice day.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 16:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That made things much clearer. Thanks for your time! Jlindbergh 16:37, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Is it possible to re-insert the link to the 3D-animation? It was explanatory, specially the red lines. /andersp 83.251.54.215 11:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Of course. Though I feel I want to lay low and be a little more careful adding links for now. But maybe someone else agrees and adds it. Jlindbergh 09:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
