Tiffany Toth and Playboy Wiki
Upshout, your concern with linking to the "official" Playboy site is very much appreciated. However, please check out (1) the © notice in the sidebar of the Playboy Wiki, (2) the "Whois" registration info linked under "Credits" on its homepage, and (3) its "Members" list where its "Organizer and Creator" was the "Director - Online Community and Social Platforms" at Playboy Enterprises, Inc. Another Organizer is the current "Playboy.com Product Manager - Playboy Plus Entertainment" - yes, the person in charge of the Playboy.com site that you want to link.

So much for credentials. The more significant point is that the Playboy Wiki link not only includes the link you want to add, but shows what is available within that link, and shows a heck of a lot more in various Playboy sites beyond what is in that link. Playboy Wiki links are supplanting the more limited and often broken Playboy.com links in the various Wikipedia Playmate lists.

I think we're on the same side; you just misread what the Playboy Wiki is about. I hope you will appreciate what it is trying to provide for all Playmates and their fans, and that you will undo your edit. Wikilister (talk) 21:18, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Snowboarding. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. —This lousy T-shirt— (talk) 21:10, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
