User talk:One World Ocean

Would you mind editing this nonprofit where it fits the rules for Wiki? How can these radio stations have links but a nonprofit cannot?

Example: of Seaside Oregon

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Newport, Oregon because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:42, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Seaside, Oregon. 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.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:43, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:44, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * To answer your question above: Wikipedia is not here for you go listing the URLs of non-profits to articles. This is an encyclopedia, and what you're doing is promoting the non-profit organization for another purpose.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:23, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
