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 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) 14:52, 16 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, I do apologize. I was citing the source that I found while searching this term that better described what I was looking for than Wikipedia currently did. In the future, should I not include these links/citations? Rated349 (talk) 05:47, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Without citing sources, doesn't this encourage copyright infringement and provide information to users without context? Why doesn't Wikipedia allow sources to be cited with a link? I've readded the previous edits you continue to revert, and left out the citation as this is important information Wikipedia fails to answer. Rated349 (talk) 14:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You can cite reliable sources. You cannot use unreliable sources or obvious linkspam as citations. Readding these statements without sourcing is not an improvement - if you want to add to Wikipedia you must use a citation that meets our sourcing requirements.
