 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view

Wikipedia Is Not To Be Used For Commercial Purposes
Hello Montgomerye, I noticed that your contributions consist of only posting one particular musical commercial link to articles having to do with Boricua singers. These are encyclopedic articles and not intended for commercial advertisements through links. Seeing that you are posting one particular company I can't but to believe that you have an interest in that company. Please desist or you may be blocked from editing. Otherwise, any positive contribution is more then welcomed. Tony the Marine 07:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Tony the Marine, yes all my contributions are related to MusicaBoricua.com and I'm the owner. User's consider it more as a Communitry Service and not as other commercial sites you are allowing such as Zonai.com, etc. You make reference to other commercial sites and I really do not understand why you keep eliminating our contributions which mainly benefit Puerto Ricans that live away from the island. If you need an accountant to provide you with a statement on how we contribute to other related organiozations let me know. Elaine M. Montgomery 07:50, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello Elaine
Hi Elaine, it's nothing personal, really. It is Wikipedia's policy that's all. However, I have nothing against your idea (Being that I'm 100% Boricua), as a matter of fact I'm going to do something. I'm going to check with the owner to see what can be done. In regard to Zonai.com, even though it belongs to El Nuevo Dia, the link leads you to a bio as reference and not to an advertisment as such. I promise that I'll let you know soon what I'm told, otherwise other people in Wiki will reverse your link even if I don't. I see that you read my bio and as a Marine you should know that I'll keep my word :.) Tony the Marine 08:19, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Response
Elaine, I asked two of the top officals in Wikipedia and this is what they had to say:

''Marine 69-71: It depends on where the external link is placed. If it if placed in an article on her record company, then it is fine. If it is placed somewhere else it may or may not be wrong depending on how relevant that article is to the link. --mav''

'':See External links for some guidelines, but in this specific case, the musicaboricua doesn't seem to add anything to the article. If a discography is needed, that can be added without needing to link to a site which is just selling this music without providing any information on the topic.

Take it from there. Take care Tony the Marine 16:43, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
