User talk:Walidalsaqqaf

A tag has been placed on TrustedPlaces, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Deranged bulbasaur 09:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Dirk Beetstra T C 14:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Your email
Hi Walid. Thank you for your email. Although I understand that the link may indeed provide more information, the problem is that you have a conflict of interest and that you were spamming (according to the wikipedia definition) the links around Wikipedia. If the link is a valid source of information, then either discuss the addition on the talkpages and let other users add the link (to avoid the conflict of interest), or, even better, use the information to contribute content to the page, and use your data as a reference (also there, please avoid any implication of a conflict of interest; read WP:A and WP:CITE). External links are not meant to tunnel people away from the encyclopedia, but can be used for information that cannot be incorporated, or to verify information mentioned on the pages. Hope this helps. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
