 * ...and that includes the same external link you inserted in Andriy Shevchenko, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Dimitar Berbatov & Micah Richards. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 10:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Rio Ferdinand. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 10:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

First, the website is not an official statistics. It's a social network like website about a game, not about the player. So per WP:EL and WP:NOT, it is inappropriate here. Please also read WP:SPAM for this. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 23:26, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I re-read again the website's about, and all I understand is that the website's main purpose to have a fantasy football with real statistics. Okay if the statistics are real, but this is a serious encyclopaedia, so we should link to official statistics websites or at least statistics from reliable publisher, not from "a small team of people based in a room at the top of Ladbroke Grove in London who love the web, football and lots of things in between". For the spam thing, please read the section WP:SPAM and based on your contributions, you are spewing external links to the same web site over many articles, and it is not coincidence that your username is exactly the same with the link you inserted. &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 10:22, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
