Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Jpoelma13 | Talk | cont 21:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree. Your edits to Leukemia were inappropriate.  I'm sure you're very enthusiastic about your organization, but there are thousands of charities in the world that would love to use Wikipedia as an advertising opportunity, but it's not allowed.  Please review the Conflict of Interset rules.  If you have any significant role with any organization, you should not be editing Wikipedia to promote that organization.  (You can, however, suggest text to other, independent editors.)  WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:42, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion
A tag has been placed on The Gotham Fund, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of The Gotham Fund and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jpoelma13 | Talk | cont 21:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
