Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed 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.

 * Larry, would you happen to know a better way to link the listing for Alvin Little League baseball's website? We would like to include the link on the page, as it links directly to our little league program, which includes valuable information for new community members.

 * It is natural to want to raise community awareness about a youth activity, but awareness isn't really a primary function of Wikipedia. The issue is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a community directory. Larry Hockett (Talk) 18:16, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I see. Thank you Larry. Is the information that we have placed in the community section still relevant to Wikipedia? We believe it could be relevant based on our rich history, with Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan once being an Alvin Little League player at one time and with our newly established Alvin Swarm baseball team. Is there a different format that we can follow to still to be relevant to Wikipedia & encyclopedia standards? Thank you. SJBHTX (talk) 18:35, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I think this question basically gets at the same idea as the one you asked me before, and I appreciate your understanding of the fact that we might not want to answer the same questions repeatedly. Nolan Ryan’s significance to Alvin is worth a mention, but that doesn't translate to allowing advertising for Alvin Little League. Please note that each Wikipedia account should be under the control of a single person. Larry Hockett (Talk) 19:18, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
