National Park Links
I notice you keep adding links to national-parks.org. Unfortunately often you're adding them in the wrong place, and even more so you're adding links that add nothing to the articles. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, we do not add external links just because they exist, they must add something to the article. Unfortunately these national-parks.org don't add anything not already on the article or in the official park's own website, so they are not appropriate per WP:EL.

Thank you for the comment and I certainly would not want to do anything that does not contribute or add anything to the subject. The GANP is a mission-based organization seeking to connect the national parks of the world, educate people on the natural resources these parks protect and why we need to protect them. Each GANP piece provides nature highlights as well as images that help communicate the splendor of each national park. It felt more appropriate to acknowledge our Ambassador parks in the External links versus moving that content up into the article and providing a source.Nature7 (talk) 15:09, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay we have another problem here now. You just stated that you work for this organization. As a result I have to direct you to WP:COI and WP:SPAM. Wikipedia is not the place for you to promote your organization. Canterbury Tail talk 15:42, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the additional information. Although I am not employed, I am connected so I understand the potential COI. I would imagine there is a difference between creating conservation awareness as the GANP is doing (i.e. UNESCO) versus a commercial site selling something when it comes to being recognized as spam. I would never want to go against the rules or guidelines. I will continue to promote awareness of the natural resources our world's national parks protect and trust that as awareness expands the GANP will naturally be recognized in Wikipedia.Nature7 (talk) 15:55, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The main crux of it though is that the links you're adding don't add any additional information to the articles. The official sites and the articles in these cases cover all the information provided in the links you're adding, and as a result they don't help anything.
