Hello, I'm Jeh. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Hard disk drive, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Jeh. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to HGST because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Jeh. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to USB 3.0 has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Although the link you replaced indeed dead, it was supposed to be a reference for the immediately preceding claim about the first USB 3.0 hard drive. The link you provided in its place does not provide a reference for that claim; it doesn't even mention USB 3.0. '' Jeh (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jeh. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Silicon Power has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Same as previous - hddmag.com site is irrelevant to this topic. '' Jeh (talk) 21:42, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to List of screw drives. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Please note that a Google image search is generally not considered a reliable source for anything; most certainly a pageful of pictures of screw drivers of various types does not provide a source for the claim being referenced (re. Pozidrive having less tendency to "cam out" than Philips). It is not appropriate to add links as "references" just because the linked-to page is in some way related to the topic of the article; a reference must provide direct confirmation fo the claim. Thank you for understanding. '' Jeh (talk) 22:12, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Asus Eee PC. 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. ''Besides being spam, your hddmag.com page has utterly nothing to do with the subject of this article - the Asus Eee PC doesn't even use a hard drive, but rather an SSD! Please review the links above to WP policy and guidelines regarding external links, particularly promotional ones, and stop trying to use Wikipedia to promote the hddmag.com site. Thank you.

p.s. - if you really want to help deal with dead links, you could search the original site for a moved page, or search e.g. archive.org for an archived copy of the page in question. That would be far more useful than replacing dead links with spam. Please see WP:Link Rot for more techniques. Jeh (talk) 22:26, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at HGST, you may be blocked from editing. ''You are quite clearly trying too hard to find reasons to link to this "hddmag.com" site. Besides the relevancy issues in this and your other edits (which alone would be enough to bar use of this site), the site shows no signs of editorial oversight. It must therefore be regarded as a self-published source and therefore not reliable for use as a reference for anything. (And your use of the "work" field in the template to promote it as "Informative article" is just abusive.) Please review the WP policies and guidelines concerning references, WP:RS, etc., before continuing. Jeh (talk) 02:32, 16 February 2016 (UTC)'' Jeh (talk) 02:32, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at External storage, you may be blocked from editing. ''As above - These links do not provide any verification of the preceding claims. Also, Wikipedia is not for "how-to" advice (see WP:NOT). '' Jeh (talk) 02:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
