 * Manual of Style

There is a Wikipedia page that links to Alec Members and there is a Wikipedia Page that links to the European Parliament. What I am trying to do is to link specific members of the European parliament to their official register of interests which is personal to each member and requires they declare membership of any outside organisations and show that it does not record their membership of ALEC. ie I am trying to show a disparity between ALEC Membership listing and the Europarl register. Obviously by juxtaposing the links on their personal pages I have tripped an anti-spam procedure. Perhaps a hint as to the best way of doing this whilst not falling foul of the procedures in place would be of benefit to me.


 * Hi May1989Anfield. There is no "best way of doing this" - what you are trying to do is introduce original research into Wikipedia, which isn't permitted. If you want to demonstrate a discrepancy between the two listings, I'd suggest starting a website or blog of your own with which to do so. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 08:43, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I would like to know what I am doing wrong - the pages I am linking are the official page from the European parliament Register of Interests and a link to an extrenal organisation of which the politician is a member - they are not advertising in any way.

I am new so maybe there is some rule that I have broken inadvertently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by May1989Anfield (talk • contribs) 21:38, 17 July 2012‎


 * You triggered Wikipedia's spam filter. A couple things;
 * SPAM
 * Link spamming
 * What Wikipedia is not
 * Wikipedia is not a repository for links
 * Repeatedly adding the same thing over and over to multiple articles is not helpful and considered Link spamming. Adding links to every politician or page its generally related to is un-encyclopedic. Besides, American Legislative Exchange Council and European Parliament has their own Wiki page, so there in no need for the external links. You're here to improve Wikipedia -- not just to funnel readers off Wikipedia and onto some other site, right?--Hu12 (talk) 23:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
