Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 with which you are affiliated, 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.

Jamie, I am not adding inappropriate links and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop removing my links. The link that I am adding is what the article is about and simply makes it easier for users to access the site. The site (if it even matters since you seem to not care about the free programs), although it sells the programs for money, runs as a not for profit organization and is only there to assist students. I do not understand why you would be so against such a site, especially when the article is all about it. Try checking Microsoft’s wiki, I'm sure there is a link to Microsoft’s website. Just because they sell something for money does not make it bad to have a link there, sometimes links are helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Parker Curtis (talk • contribs).
 * I still think it's spam, but you're welcome to post a question to the talk page of the SAT article to see if anyone else thinks that the link is appropriate. OhNo itsJamie Talk 04:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It is not the SAT page, it is the SAT Calculator Program page that I have a problem with. Why would you feel that SAT OS is not spam while the link to www.highersat.com is? SAT OS was thrown in at the end of the article and barely makes sense there, so if anything is link spam it is clearly done by the author of SAT OS (possibly you?). Highersat is what the entire article is about, so it makes sense to be there. Why don't you take a poll since you seem better than me, to see if you should remove my link before rudely removing an appropriate link and replacing inappropriate links? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Parker Curtis (talk • contribs).
 * I'm not really sure what you're talking about. My point is that there seems to be a campaign to advertise the highersat site here, and I feel that it's spam. If you can argue that the link meets guidelines in WP:EL and WP:SPAM, feel free to argue those points in the talk pages for those articles. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 04:55, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of SAT calculator program


A tag has been placed on SAT calculator program, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
