Need some explanation
Hi Imroy,

Thank you for your response. I am quit new on Wikipedia and do not yet know all your companies guidelines, although I have read many instructions on your website. But I do not understand why I cannot put links on Wikipedia to this website. LetsGoDigital is an informative website about Digital Photography. Can you please explain to me why such a link gets deleted? And what I do wrong? Please do not send me to a URL within the Wikipedia directory, but just specify why www.letsgodigital.org does not meet up with your criteria for pages like: Digital Camera and Digital Photography.

I am sorry you had to remove the links, I guess you have better things to do in your time as well :-)

Thank you for your explanation.

 * Firstly, this is not my website. I am merely another user like yourself. I have simply been here longer, and know the territory better. Your first edit removed a dpreview.com link and replaced it with one of your own. That was a big red-flag. Your edit to Review wasn't as suspicious, but adding the same link to multiple articles is the definition of 'link spamming'. I've previously done battle before with people adding 'letsgodigital' links to many photography articles. So that's why I was quick to crack down on you.
 * Sorry if I scared you. But like the warning says, we prefer people to add/edit content instead of just adding links. --Imroy 11:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
