Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes.

I don't understand...
Yesterday I added some links from company records on Wikipedia to Hoover's free factsheets (ex: Pearson plc). I typically added them right above or below equivalent links from Yahoo! Finance. Within a couple of hours, this was the message I got back:

''Please don't spam wikipedia with external kinks withour contribiuting any encyclopedic text into articles. Usually such additions are reverted on sight. `'mikka 21:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)''

I believe these links are consistent with your policy, and add value to the entries, just like Yahoo!s do. Please could you reconsider?

Thanks! Russell Secker
