Hello, I'm Jim1138. An edit you recently made to Tuber melanosporum seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 08:44, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Truffle hog. Wikipedia is not a collection of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links may include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. 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. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 09:07, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Truffle. 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. Thank you.

 * Please don't be discouraged from editing Wikipedia. The links you added should have been placed in an External Links section, not in the Reference section. They may still have been removed from External Links, but a big problem is that they weren't put in the right place to begin with. Plantdrew (talk) 16:51, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
