Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hazard analysis and critical control points. 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.  MrOllie (talk) 22:13, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello MrOllie,
 * Could you please specify why some links were removed?
 * For example a link I had posted on the Hazard and operability study wikipedia page was removed even though the link takes users to a credible and valuable resource of information for further reading on this subject. This link got removed even though I see plenty of other external links that redirect users to company websites, with less rich content on the subject matter, where they then promote their services and products.
 * I feel there should be some consistency whether that is all links of this nature are removed, or I should be able to include this link (https://processsafetyboard.com/phablog/hazop) for example on the Hazard and operability study wikipedia page.
 * Please respond and let me know what the issue is.
 * Thanks 2001:56A:7B42:3000:C54A:8080:4DF1:753B (talk) 20:20, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Links were removed because you were systematically adding inappropriate links to a particular website. Wikipedia is not a link directory and is not a place to promote external links. MrOllie (talk) 20:45, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * So am I okay to at least just add this one link (https://processsafetyboard.com/phablog/hazop) to the Hazard and operability study wikipedia page? 2001:56A:7B42:3000:C54A:8080:4DF1:753B (talk) 22:05, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * No. Keep adding it as you have been and you can expect your account and/or IP to be blocked, and the website's domain placed on Wikipedia's spam control blacklist. MrOllie (talk) 22:08, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright then will the other external links on these pages be removed as well? The ones where other companies have done the same thing? Psbmember (talk) 22:47, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
