Your edits to Pagan Federation
Greetings, Pat. It is generally against the policy guidelines to add links to organizations you are directly associated with--please review the guidelines for external links and spam. Thanks. Justin Eiler 18:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to John Pugh
The external links you placed in the article John Pugh were removed, in accordance with Wikipedia's policy regarding the biographies of living people. The policy in a nutshell states "Wikipedia articles about living people can affect the subject's life. They must therefore be written with the greatest of care and attention to verifiability, neutrality and avoiding original research, particularly regarding any controversial material." Thanks.

 * Please do not further vandalise this page, such as removing the link to the MP's own web site and pointing it at a link that does not exist. Further actions like this may result in your being able to edit Wikipeida being removed. Galloglass 16:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Hellenic polytheism
The link you placed on Hellenic polytheism looked like mostly a rant and was not an established Hellenic polytheist group, which is what that section of the links is designed for. I don't think your link belongs on the article, so I've removed it, but I've also removed the link to Shrine of the Sleeping Gods, since they seem to suffer from a similar problem. Do you have any information about Christo-Hellenic groups other than SSG? - AdelaMa e (talk - contribs) 20:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

External links to PAN
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Witch-crft and Satanic ritual abuse. 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.

 * Greetings, Patch666, and my apologies for taking so long to ge3t back to you with this. I'll be without internet for a while longer yet--we just moved into a new house, and are still setting things up.


 * The biggest problem with the links is because you are personally associated with them, creating the appearance of a conflict of interest. For example, I'm a member of several internet forums, and the administrator of one. If I were to put a link to the forum I administrate, even if it were as a citation of verifiable information, that link violates the apparent conflict of interest guidelines as listed in WP:SPAM, WP:EL, and most especially WP:COI.


 * Unfortunately, Wikipedia has had to crack down on COI links--even if they're in good faith (as I'm certain yours were), they greatly reduce the usability of Wikipedia for all users.


 * Thanks for working with us on this issue. Justin Eiler 18:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
