Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 12:36, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for comment Kevin. I will do everything to avoid any contribution that are not with a policy of wikipedia.

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 the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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. MrOllie (talk) 11:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Metonni, I appreciate that you're trying to improve Wikipedia, and thank you for that. However, the links you are adding are unsuitable for several reasons, most notably because they "[do] not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article." (WP:ELNO #1) In addition, your site appears to be a blog and/or personal website, and therefore violates WP:ELNO #11. (Also, you might not think that it also falls under WP:ELNO #4 regarding advertising links, but others would disagree.) I must respectfully ask that you not add any links to that site, and please refrain from adding any other links until you have reviewed the guidelines for external links. As an aside, it's considered good Wikipedia etiquette to sign your discussion posts (how?), so that others know who wrote them. Cheers, Kevin Forsyth (talk) 14:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
