Links to photos
Hello, you seem to be posting links to your personal photos of trekking journeys over the country. Please note: --Enric Naval (talk) 13:47, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) you have to post them under the "External links" section at the end of the article
 * 2) please don't post links to albums that are mostly photos of yourself and your trekking mates, the links should help readers improve their understanding of the subject
 * 3) if the linked photos are not of good quality, or they don't help enough to understand the subject, or they can be replaced with links to categories of photos in Commons, then they will be removed. Wikipedia has an external link guideline (WP:EL) that instructs that the number of external links in articles should be as small as possible.
 * 4) consider picking the most "encyclopedic" photos and uploading them to http://commons.wikimedia.org under a free license. (if you have two photos of a mountain, one with your mates in the photo, and one without, then you should post only the picture that has the mountain in it with no person in the photo).

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Bhaja Caves‎. 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. Belasd (talk) 18:35, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
