Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Tetris. 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. * --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 05:08, 11 June 2014 (UTC)


 * So this is how you are treated by Wikipedia Admins when you try to spread Tetris knowledge around the internet. I just tried to add a link to the Tetris Wiki, by far the best source of Tetris knowledge you can find around the internet. I heard bad stories about Wikipedia Admins, and now my first contact with one of them was as negative. When I explained why I think the HardDrop Wiki should be mentioned on Wikipedia, this Barek guy immediately removed my text from his talk page with the description "non-productive rant by user promoting linkspam". Message can be read here. -- Quakfröschli (talk) 05:32, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You were provided links above to Wikipedia policy about links, it's not some hidden mystical reason why the links were removed. Quite simply, Wikipedia is not an internet directory; and arguing that other links exist is not a viable argument to add more. The added link failed to meet inclusion criteria of that policy, and in fact fell into the category of several items listed on types of links to avoid using on Wikipedia.
 * And yes, I removed your rant from my talk page. In your own words in the first paragraph, "You don't need to answer, I won't answer either." so I didn't see a point in responding (ie: it was by definition non-productive ranting). It appears you then conveniently use that self-fulfilling prophecy as evidence that admins are evil. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:08, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
