Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 23:13, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. -- SiobhanHansa 00:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well potentially being penalized by search engines.

Re: Questions regarding postings
Hi Melsit. Thank you for posting to my talk page rather than continuing your previous editing. Our guidelines are clear that editors should not add link to sites they are involved in directly to external links sections. If you believe an article you have might be useful and is within our guidelines you may suggest it on the article's talk page and see if other non-connected editors agree it is an appropriate link. Note though if an account were used solely to do this it might also be considered too promotional. In general external links to copyrighted content that adds little that couldn't be in a Wikipedia article does little to further this encyclopedia's mission.

If you are prepared to offer your content under a GFDL license in Wikipedia articles it may be appropriate for you to add parts directly to Wikipedia articles. Because your site is currently copyrighted Wikipedia would need appropriate assurances that the copyright holder releases the text under the GFDL - with an anyone can create an account approach we do have a few hoops that need to be jumped through to confirm copyright properly - please read this on how to provide that assurance. Content would still need to meet our normal editing standards including verifiability. For details on what is appropriate for verifying medicine (and consequently most health) related articles please take a look at the medical sources guideline.

Another avenue for you is to work with WikiProject medicine (a group of editors here who concentrate on health and medicine related articles). I don't know what their normal approach is to such collaborations or what they will think of the content you offer. I suggest posting to the bottom of the project's talk page and asking what they think of the content (it may be helpful to propose some example articles from Wikipedia and your site) and if they have suggestions for how you can collaborate. They may keep a list of possible resources, they may be able to offer feedback on when your content or links would be appropriate and whether it reaches an appropriate standard for direct copying into articles, or there may be a better suggestion they can make. In any case they are the editors most likely to be able to offer critical review of your content and assess how appropriate it is (in any context) for Wikipedia. Starting with the WikiProject may be easier than going article by article. -- SiobhanHansa 20:18, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for enquiry on my talk page, but examples given really were quite poor and not suitable as either external links to expand on topics or for direct citing as a good secondary source. See my talk page, admittedly somewhat harsh critique - but feel free to suggest better pages from your site (with depth, breath or cited sources) :-) David Ruben Talk 00:56, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
