Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Classified advertising. 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.  General Ization Talk  15:40, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm EncMstr. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Classified advertising have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. —EncMstr (talk) 16:40, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, duly noted. Freeonlineads.com was one of the first online classified websites in the UK, would it be acceptable to create a Wikipedia page that provided that information and its origin? When does a page which details the history or the founding of website such as Craiglist or ebay become "promotion"? I appreciate your advice so that either appropriate content can be added or not added at all. Thank you Millionairelife (talk) 16:48, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * First of all, are you connected in some way with Freeonlineads.com?  General Ization Talk  16:50, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, that being said that doen't mean the content will not be neutral, since it would purely provide the factual details and I'm sure that many this huge corproate have PR, marketing teams writing their content BTW - I'm not trying to be contentious just trying to work out what is acceptable and what is not, since it appears that some rules do not apply if you are mega corporation.
