Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Transitive closure. 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. Alexf(talk) 21:47, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

The merit of the speedy removed link
Alex. I am extremely grateful for your concern and like it that there are people like you who keep Wikipedia free from garbage. I realise that the link that I want to add meets many of the criteria for forbidden links. I, however, think that it has merit. When compared with the link to the Stony Brook algorithm repository that is carried on this wikipedia page, Apti Algoritmi is in some sense more above board than the Stony Brook link because Skiena sells a textbook that is advertised on his page while my page and visits to my page has absolutely no financial gain for me as the editor. It is merely a concise repository of implementations of algorithms that solves the transitive closure problem that was created for academic purposes. It is to my knowledge the most comprehensive collection of implementations of this specific algorithm and has more practical use than for example the link to the PhD thesis of Nuutila that is carried on this wikipedia page. Apti Algorithm adhere to the intention of an encyclopaedia because it is written in a style that is accessible to lay people. --Vpieterse (talk) 06:26, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Vpieterse. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vpieterse~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:21, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
