Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.  Acroterion   (talk)   01:16, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Please help me with... Acroterion‬ reverted my edit on the 2022 Georgia Gubernatorial Election to add registered candidate Al Bartell. His campaign committee is registered at the GA Campaign Finance Commission as an Independent candidate. He has been reported in the news as running for Georgia Governor. He has a gubernatorial candidate website. How do I add him as a registered gubernatorial candidate? Acroterion stated in Seregionnews user talk that "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. Acroterion (talk) 01:16, 15 September 2021 (UTC)"I am not exactly sure how to do that. Also, the content is critical to be added as quickly as possible. I do not contribute on a regular basis, and am wanting to ensure I follow the guidelines. Thank you.

 * Well, if the citation you added isn't from, well, S.E. Region News, a publication you quite clearly have a conflict of interest with, looking at your username, there would be no problem with the edit. The addition of the URL, even as a citation, can be seen by others as addition of a spam link and is prohibited.  — twotwofourtysix (My talk page and contributions) 08:57, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Please help me with... Thank you for helping me to understand the policies here. Is citing the Georgia Government Transparency and Finance Commission website an appropriate reference in this case, to add a registered Georgia gubernatorial candidate such as Mr. Bartell to the 2022 Georgia Gubernatorial Election wikipedia page? And, then, to add the website with the other candidate websites? Thank you again. I am committed to making a correct, appropriate edit.Seregionnews (talk) 09:56, 15 September 2021 (UTC) Seregionnews (talk) 09:56, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. It sounds like that would in fact be the best possible source. Adding external links is probably not appropriate in this case, please see the external links guideline. If you're unsure (or if someone reverts your edits – see bold, revert, discuss), then it's probably best to ask on Talk:2022 Georgia gubernatorial election. — LauritzT (talk) 10:07, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
