Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Humour. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Belbury (talk) 21:05, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at German humour, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Humour. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

 * Was this content ever published anywhere outside of the author's personal website? "Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites"
 * If this is your own website then you should also read WP:COI.
 * Thanks. Belbury (talk) 22:25, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Aha, thanks for your info.
 * Prepared for more.
 * Like for example my former book / system of books in https://www.tao-te-king.org/ not in my personal website, more than 300,000 readers from 100 countries, well-known for my scholar colleagues about daodejing etc.
 * This is one of the most comprehensive works ever about humor, why should readers of wikipedia are not allowed to have access to it?
 * Thanks,

 * If you think Wikipedia should include links to your essay website then you should follow the instructions at WP:COIEDIT and propose such changes on article talk pages, identifying yourself as the author. Belbury (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't see any conflicts of interest, I'm not paid for this, I just want to make this great work on humor available to interested readers while I still can (soon to be 74 and seriously ill). I always start publishing on my own site before it appears or is quoted elsewhere. I don't know enough about the legalities of Wikipedia. If Wikipedia readers really can't be made aware of this work - too bad for them! But I would take that with ... HUMOR! :-)
 * Thanks, good luck with your work! Dr. Hilmar Alquiros Laozi17 (talk) 23:20, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * From WP:COI, Someone having a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith. You are automatically considered to have a conflict of interest with regards to your own websites, and should follow Wikipedia's guidelines on that. Belbury (talk) 13:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * This is your rule, I see, but in cases like this you block the interested readers, not me, to find a valuable information about the most comprehensive work on humor on this site! :-)
 * No problem for me, I just wanted to give people who are obviously interested in humor when they visit this site of wikipedia, to find this huge amount of information of all aspects about humor easily here.
 * Rules are made for people, not people for rules. It is a higher rule of humanity that sometimes rules are sometimes counterproductive and need to be refined! :-) All the best and lots of humor! Laozi17 (talk) 16:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am surprised about this definition:
 * "Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships."
 * It's not about me! :-), it's a book I wrote about humor! Is being the author really interpreted as about myself??
 * Just written it is of course at first in my website - does it need a second website address at first?!
 * Or are only quotes of other people's work accepted?!
 * Thanks for your explanations,
 * a curious old man! :-) Laozi17 (talk) 08:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

I have blocked you indefinitely for continuing to add your link. PhilKnight (talk) 11:30, 13 February 2024 (UTC)


 * No, you blocked the potential readers, not me!
 * I only wanted to make it easy for them to find this most comprehensive work about humor! (before I pass away - I do not need all that anymore!)
 * Have a good life! h.a. Laozi17 (talk) 11:57, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
