Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with links to (byki.com | search current ). 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 that you are affiliated with, 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 article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Femto, I understand you are an administrator. I was confused about why you would delete our free resources link, while letting fully commercial links stand (including one that I personally de-bolded, took from the top, put into consistent format in then repositioned in appropriate order in the links list), but I guess the relevant phrase is "web sites you are affiliated with." That certainly applies to me. We want to be referenced where appropriate for the benefit of readers, but only if we can do it as good citizens. Thanks for the guidance.
