Re: Seychelles
Thank you for your note, however I don't presume to know anything about your country. That said, Wikipedia isn't a number of things, which includes being a link directory. Links to articles should be topical, relevant and at least somewhat unique. Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopaedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks.

Finally, I see that you have copied-and-pasted information from http://www.seychelles.net into Michael Adams Seychellois Artist &mdash; this is not allowed under Wikipedia's copyright rules, and will therefore need to be removed. The only exception to this rule is if the original author of the material there has freely released the text under the GFDL, which hasn't been asserted anywhere.

 * Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks.  dewet|✉ 14:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Dear user Seychellois, please refrain from attacking other editors; remember that you should assume that all editing is done with good intent Fyver528 15:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. &mdash; Super-Magician (talk &bull; contribs &bull; count ) &#x2605; 16:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey Seychellois, you'll find that opposition links are on the Seychelles page, e.g. Regar (I put them there myself!). I agree that things are bad in Seychelles, but not as bad as during Nazi regime as you alluded to.  I hope you arent disheartened and will still try to produce some constructive Seychelles related materials on wikipedia; regards Fyver528 16:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
