Welcome to Wikipedia!!!
Please do not add that external link to college football again. I believe you have done it twice, once under the IP here. Several of us disagree that it is useful to that article, and I believe it is not useful anywhere on Wikipedia. If you diagree, you may bring the subject up at Talk:College football. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. -- MECU ≈ talk 15:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. I didn't realize adding http://www.d1collegefootball.com to the college football page was spamming. Is there any way it can be added?
 * Hi again. Please stop adding links to d1collegefootball.com to pages. There is not useful information on that website and it's just a bunch of links with advertisements. I'm starting to think this is your own website. Adding links to a website will not help in search engines or rankings in any manner, as Wikipedia has set it for the robots to not use these in their calculations. Please consider contributing to Wikipedia in a more meaningful manner than adding this useless external link. Thank you. -- MECU ≈ talk 16:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

The owners of D1CollegeFootball.com spend quite of bit of time adding content to that site so your useless comment is disputed. This site receives thousands of visits from college football fans each month. Why is there an external link section to pages on wikipedia if external links can't be added?

 * Please sign your comments on all talk pages, including this one, using ~ . External links are to be helpful in finding more information about the subject. Please read WP:SPAM and External links. I think, on the last link, the links you have been including are #1 and #3 and maybe #5. I have again removed both links you added in the second batch today. -- MECU ≈ talk 22:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

How does the link to d1afootball.com that is first on the list of external links remain in the external links or half the other links in the college football external links? Rstambau 19:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Please see WP:SPAM -- Not that I think that other link you are questioning is SPAM, but "that link is there so should mine!" isn't a good argument. Also, inclusion of "your" link at the top is further evidence you are trying to spam this link, especially since adding this link is 7 of your 17 total edits, worse, 7 of your 9 total main article space edits, and the other 2 were on Student Loan. -- MECU ≈ talk 19:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

First, I am totally new to making additions and just didn't understand the link policy. Now I understand that we should be adding relevant content and not links. Your polite comments make it clear how it works. Rstambau 20:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
