User talk:World Lotteries

April 2019
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Lotteries by country. 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. Toohool (talk) 19:30, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

News Source
Links to your own website, no matter how well-researched it is, will not comply with Wikipedia's reliable sources policy, because your site has no established reputation for fact-checking. And given that it is laden with affiliate links, linking to it in your very first edit on Wikipedia gives the impression that you are here to promote your site rather than improve Wikipedia. If that's not the case, then you are welcome to make your edits with links to reliable sources such as the Powerball website.

You are right about some of the other links on the page being unacceptable, I have gone ahead and removed some of them. Generally, if you find something on Wikipedia that doesn't look right, that doesn't mean that it has been "approved", it just means that nobody has noticed and taken the time to fix it, so feel free to go ahead and fix it.
