your links to ibtauris
Hi, I saw you added a couple of links to www.ibtauris.com. First, systematically adding links to several pages could be addressed as spam. Furthermore, it is more correct to just mention the ISBN of a book, that will result in a link to special:booksources. In that case the reference can, in no way, be explained as an advertisement. Can you take care of all the pages you added www.ibtauris.com to?

Similarly, the page I.B. Tauris looks like an advertisement, could you also take care of that page? Thank you. --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:21, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Dirk,

Understood. I went to make the corrections you suggested but found that other (more brutal!) editors had been there before me and deleted everything. I will re-do according to the guidelines you pointed me too - thanks.

 * Indeed, some others have been working on the links as well (there are several bots and checks to see what is happening to pages, addition of external links is closely monitored). I have changed another one (removed the link).  You might want to have a look at Book sources, and introduce a link to I.B. Taurus there (in the appropriate place, with the appropriate setup, if you don't know how, please first discuss it on the talkpage of that page, and someone will probably come and help you).  For more information on external links, see WP:EL/WP:SPAM (concerning spam and external links), WP:CITE (citations), WP:RS (reliable sources).  What wikipedia is not is another useful guideline.  I'm sure you will find a lot of pages where you can add information to, and help us expand the encyclopedia.  Thanks, and happy editing!  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 12:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
