 * Thank you for asking me about this. The problem is that Wikipedia is not a list of links and there is already a link to an FAQ. Furthermore, your added link, was of a page belonging to The GreenBean Coffee Espresso & Tea LLC which obviously has an interest beyond mere education. A couple of options are to propose in the article's talk page that your site is more informative etc., etc. than the existing one or take the time to add information to the main article and use your site as a reference.

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. Robert Skyhawk So sue me! (You'll lose) 21:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
