Hello. Add only external links that are specifically relevent to the page. I have seen you've added many links to the same front page of a site on many articles on various topics; this looks like spamming, which is not allowed here. Wikipedia is not a link farm. Serious contributions from you in helping us build an encyclopedia are welcome. Thanks, -- Infrogmation 02:11, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello again, thanks for your email, I'm putting some info here for reference.

Adding a specifically relevent external link to a specific article is fine. You did not link to particular relevent pages, you added many links to the front page of your site. It looked like you were much more interested in putting many links to push your website than you were in improving the content of Wikipedia. As I replied in your talk page, Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue for promotion of your self or your web page.

Take a look at Welcome, newcomers and the Manual of Style. Future writing and edits from you more in line with such guidelines are welcome. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 17:19, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
