Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Virtual reality. 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. Sam Kuru (talk) 03:38, 5 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I updated the Virtual Reality applications page without any external links -- just two high quality relevant use cases that I've experienced first hand that are relevant to the topic. My apologies I'm new to Wikipedia and still learning the ropes. Thanks for the assistance. LorneMFade (talk) 21:02, 5 January 2023 (UTC)



External links in the main body of an article are not allowed, see WP:NOELBODY. Also please cite reliable sources when adding content. Verifiability is one of the pillars of Wikipedia. --Count Count (talk) 15:31, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Virtual reality applications. 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.

 * What constitutes spam? Should I put a link as a reference instead? I linked to a published case study regarding the use of VR applications in the renewable energy sectory. LorneMFade (talk) 16:27, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Links to you company's pitch page are not welcome, nor are any forms of content marketing. This is not that kind of platform. You may also want to read WP:PAID and WP:COI. Sam Kuru (talk) 17:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If I remove the link the content is still informative and relevant as well as helpful. LorneMFade (talk) 18:21, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
 * "nor are any forms of content marketing". Please do not add press release materials sourced to corporate 'case studies' featuring your firm, or content marketing blogs from Meta. I'm not sure how to be more clear: if you are not about to handle your COI, please do not edit articles. Sam Kuru (talk) 18:40, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
