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 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. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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. W. Edlmeier (talk) 20:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]] Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. W.

Dear W. Edlmeir: Why the official Lanzarote website is an inappropiate external link? Many thanks--TURISMOLANZAROTE (talk) 21:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Touristic websites are not reputed for their fact-checking and editorial oversight. Althoug specific sites may be allowed under some circumstances (such as www.turismodecanarias.com in Tourism in the Canary Islands), they are no scientific sources and will be removed in most cases. (see: WP:EXT) W. Edlmeier (talk) 21:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Sir, This is the official website for Lanzarote Tourism. It is the same as the www.turismodecanarias.com is for Tourism in the Canary islands! What about the other external link as for example www.lanzarote.com? this is not the official website. You can check it at www.cabildodelanzarote.com the official Lanzarote Web site is www.turismolanzarote.com--TURISMOLANZAROTE (talk) 21:42, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Sir, Could you please give us an e-mail address or fax number in order to send you a letter signed by the Lanzarote Tourism Councillor.--TURISMOLANZAROTE (talk) 21:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * For www.lanzarote.com see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. It does not really matter whether this site is "official" or not, as it is not a scientific source but a marketing tool to promote tourism in Lanzarote and Wikipedia is not the tourist information. By the way, the official Cabildo-of-Lanzarote-website is already linked in the infobox. Muchos Saludos, W. Edlmeier (talk) 21:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

Lanzarote bioshphere contorversy
Hi. I think it's time for a few personal words. You wrote in the edit history "This information was false. please check this information ". (Roughly "Prez of Cabildo says 'It ain't so'") It may come as a surprise to you, but actually truth is not the decisive factor whether something can or should be added to a Wikipedia article. (With some exceptions.) It's rather whether there are "reliable sources" for it. An the Financial Times, as a well know news organisation does count. I've added the bit about the FT article once more, with a bit more "he said/she said" (so to speak) to it and a link to the Cabildo's refutation. Please don't remove it again without a better argument than that your position is The Truth. The point is that there is a controversy. That controversy seems rather relevant and so should be in the article.ospalh (talk) 10:14, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
