Welcome!
Hello, OliverRieder, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Serial port, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!

Help me!
Please help me with... How do you decide what is a sponsored link and what is not? All Wikipedia articles consist of advertising type links. How can I post an honest link on this resource? OliverRieder (talk) 11:40, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Please review policy on external links. If you truly feel that your link was valid, please discuss it on the article talk page.  Please note that if you are associated with the website you linked to, you must review and formally comply with the conflict of interest and paid editing policies.  Please note that Wikipedia is not a mere resource of information; this is an encyclopedia. 331dot (talk) 11:44, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to COM port redirector. 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. 331dot (talk) 12:13, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
