Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Graham 87 07:20, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: External links
The keyword in that edit summary is "directly". See bullet point 13 about external links to avoid; your site is not *directly* related to the common frog. Since you are the site owner, you have a conflict of interest and you should propose any links you want to add on the talk pages of the appropriate articles. Since I can't see the pictures on your site (see my user page), you might want a second opinion from the external links noticeboard. Graham 87 00:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Pond. 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 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 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 02:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
