Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to 875 North Michigan Avenue. 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. Thank you. Toohool (talk) 04:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Inappropriate external links? What are you basing that on?!
"Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to 875 North Michigan Avenue. "

There are not any resources for condos in the building. That is my page that I added. It's a helpful resource. I understand it's no follow. If you understand that 875 n Michigan is the same building as 175 e Delaware you would change your statement. Rvilt2 (talk) 07:19, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Did you read the rest of the paragraph? Wikipedia is not a place to promote your web site. Toohool (talk) 08:47, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

There's no other resources for the building's condos
So you're saying that you're not supposed to post your own info even if it's a good resource? My link goes to every condo available in the building. Nothing else does. "The building is home to offices and restaurants, as well as about 700 condominiums, and contains the third highest residence in the world, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Trump Tower in Chicago.[9] "

And you'll see the other external links call it the John Hancock Center. Why don't you crack down on those? It's not called that anymore. Rvilt2 (talk) 15:02, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a real estate portal, so directing users to a list of available condos is not a goal that we have. Even if it were, it would need to be via a site that meets our external links guideline, which yours does not. Thank you for pointing out that some of the other external links were outdated, I've updated them. One of them has not yet updated the name of the building on their site, but that's not really relevant to our criteria for inclusion. Toohool (talk) 17:28, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
