Hello, I'm Larry Hockett. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Acne have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

 * Hi Larry can you please let me know why the external link is inappropriate.  Vincesocials (talk) 06:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There's more information about external links at the blue link above that says guidelines, but the main idea is that you should not come to the encyclopedia looking to promote a product. A lot of people look at a Wikipedia article like free web space or a social media profile, but those aren't its purposes.
 * Specifically, the external links guideline says that external links "normally should not be placed in the body of an article." Also see WP:ELNO (the list of specific reasons why certain external links shouldn't be included anywhere in the article, even outside of the body). WP:ELNO #5 (about pages that exist to promote products or services) and #11 (about blogs) are the main ones that address links like yours. I hope this helps.
