Hello, I'm C.Fred. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Countertop have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 23:42, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Fred, I am an engineering undergraduate studying in the UK on material and room design for commercial application, and specifically laboratories. My recent project covered stainless steel, and this is significantly lacking in this Wiki section, where I have gain much information on other material types, so I decided to add the additional info on stainless steel. I have no affiliation with the website I have l;inked to, but as I understand it they have worked with the material for over 50 years, and I gleaned a lot of additional information for my project from their site, so they are my original reference for the sustainability of stainless steel as a material, hence the reference link.

Hello TheChewie,

You are not allowed to add a link to a commercial website that sells stainless steel countertops to Countertop. This is spam and is simply not permitted. Please consider this a warning that any further spamming will result in you being blocked from editing. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  19:43, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, As explained to Fred, I am an engineering undergraduate studying in the UK on material and room design for commercial application, and specifically laboratories. My recent project covered stainless steel, and this is significantly lacking in this Wiki section, where I have gain much information on other material types, so I decided to add the additional info on stainless steel. I have no affiliation with the website I have linked to, but as I understand it they have worked with the material for over 50 years, and I gleaned a lot of additional information for my project from their site, so they are my original reference for the sustainability of stainless steel as a material, hence the reference link. I note that there are other commercial links in this section anyway, but regardless, if that is the source of the information that I have added, what is the problem - that site is very informative on that material type. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheChewie (talk • contribs)


 * "What is the problem"? What you're doing is the equivalent of turning in an academic paper where your works cited are nothing but newspaper ads. As an undergraduate student, I trust you see the problem. —C.Fred (talk) 12:08, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Countertop. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
