Recent edit to Grand Bazaar, Istanbul
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul article, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. You may find our linking guidelines helpful in this regard. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Materialscientist (talk) 22:33, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

It is nonsense, not to accept working links instead of dead links even they are all from same website. Probably you were told so, "if all the given links are from same website it is a promotion, block him.", no need for rethink or logic. Coem on guys, what is the bad point of revise the deadlinks with working ones, even all the links are from same site (it is not spam or commercial)? anyway no need for an answer, if it is possible, plese question yourselves for future issues. happy new year with full of dead links guys:) Samowan (talk) 07:27, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Look to Wikivoyages
I have removed your additions to the Wikipedias. They are encyclopaedias and need authoritative links, not commercial links with information. I would encourage you to look at the Wikivoyage website, as your tourist-focused information has relevance in that respect. Though don't spam like you have as that will still be reverted, so please read their site rules, and edit within them. — billinghurst  sDrewth  22:43, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

You are right billinghurst, better to have deadlinks instead of properly working non commercial web pages that contains useful informations about attractions of Istanbul from viewpoint of a local. While checking wiki Bursa page, i just see an external link, website of a rental car company and in Turkish, as you said it is an example of authoritive and non commercial website. This is the link: http://www.kayaotokiralamabursa.com/ happy new year Samowan (talk) 06:43, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
