Hello, I'm Knitsey. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Mike Hall (cyclist) have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

 * Hi Knitsey. The link I included was a reference to the documentary film, Inspired to Ride mentioned in the section: Other Work. MSD-Film (talk) 19:36, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The page you linked to, the first thing to appear on the screen is a preview of the film with the price to purchase it.
 * Are there other independent reviews of the film that do not contain a direct selling link that you could use? Thanks, Knitsey (talk) 19:42, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The imdb page would be a good reference as it lists the other cyclists featured in addition to Mike Hall and reviews:
 * https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4340740/ MSD-Film (talk) 19:53, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * IMDb isn't classed as a reliable source as it's user generated, see WP:RS for help on deciding what might be classed as reliable.
 * Are there any other reviews out there of the film that you could reference? Knitsey (talk) 19:59, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I've just had a quick google and I can't see anything that isn't a mirror of the IMDb review. Knitsey (talk) 20:03, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Found this when I clicked your reference link:
 * Vendor and e-commerce sources
 * Shortcuts
 * WP:VENDOR
 * WP:AFFILIATE
 * Although the content guidelines for external links prohibit linking to "Individual web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services", inline citations may be allowed to e-commerce pages such as that of a book on a bookseller's page or an album on its streaming-music page, in order to verify such things as titles and running times.
 * If you're not satisfied with the film's very webpage for specific reference of the project, that includes video trailer, synopsis, and reviews - I'm not sure what is appropriate?
