"Spam"
Please read WP:EL. Basically, Wikipedia is not a link farm. Links should only be added if they have valuable information that does not belong in the article itself. If the information in the link does belong it the article, it should be re-written (to avoid copyright issues) and added to the article. In general, articles should have very few links, because very few links fit these criteria. The idea is that we want our articles to be the best possible source of information on a topic, not a short article followed by a long list of links to other articles-- one might as well just google the subject and read the first dozen sites if we are going to assemble long external link lists.

I am sorry about the label "spam" in the edit summaries, in that it carries an implication of commercial content, which the links you added do not contain. However, when you add links to the same site to 12 articles, that is spamming, an attempt to increase the traffic to your site.

Please consider adding to the contents of the articles, not to the external links section. The articles on Buddism already have far too many external links, and must be cleaned up.

Happy editing! -- Mwanner | Talk 13:31, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


 * You wrote: "It would be very difficult to incorporate all that information on Wikipedia." And yet you have never made a single effort to improve our articles, except by adding links. They will never get better at that rate, will they? Perhaps we should just replace our articles with links to yours? Can you see the nature of the problem? Let me ask you this: why is it important to you that we have the links to your site? -- Mwanner | Talk 17:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
