It would be even better if your contributions were more than links to your own website! Please note that Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine, and while you are welcome to contribute factual material, if your edits appear to be simple advertising they are likely to be removed. This is an encyclopedia, after all, not a link farm. :-) GreenReaper 05:48, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Addition of http://www.Theskinsfactory.com external links
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. -- SiobhanHansa 23:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

TheSkinsFactory 00:05, 22 June 2007 (UTC) I don't know who you think you are, but The Skins Factory and the other design studios i added are a big part of this whole topic. Who do you think brought mainstream skinning to the public? It is NOT SPAM to promote urls that are on topic. I don't know why you think you have the right to say what goes up on this topic but considering our studio and others help create skinning as a mainstream artform, i think we have more right than you to determine what is appropriate.

 * I'm an editor with some experience and understanding of our guidelines, that's all. The guidelines we have in place have developed over time in response to issues that have arisen.  As an encyclopedia we have to take steps to ensure our content is neutral and of an encyclopedic nature.  Linking to design studios in a general article about skins is not encyclopedic and any user linking to sites they are connected with is not in keeping with our linking guidelines.  Please take a look at the guidelines I linked to above and also our conflict of interest guideline to learn more about Wikipedia's approach to these issues.  Thanks.  -- SiobhanHansa 00:19, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
