Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Cocobolo. 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. Largoplazo (talk) 18:37, 2 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I am a student doing a project on sustainability with timber harvesting. All the information I put was true.  I am confused as why they were deleted? Zwy001 (talk) 19:19, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello. For several reasons:
 * See WP:ELPOINTS. No external links in article bodies.
 * The links you've added are all from the same website. If, in browsing through articles, you were finding content in some of them that called for references to external sources, looking for a source for each one, and creating a citation pointing to it, you'd likely wind up with citations to a variety of websites. Instead, all your links are to the same website. This gives the impression that the website is your starting point and that you're looking for articles where you can add links to that website. That's spamming. See WP:Spam.
 * It isn't just the links. Content like "Many companies have pushed for sustainable harvesting including Diamond Tropical Hardwoods and Diamond Teak" and "Handmade golden brown teak furniture with white background from Diamond Tropical Hardwoods" and "Granadillo Heartwood and Sapwood shown highlighting the large contrast in colors from Diamond Tropical Hardwoods" and "many companies like Diamond Tropical Hardwoods have pushed for the total use of the tree" are unmistakably spam, highlighting this one arbitrary company in the respective articles.
 * Even if you had created proper footnotes (see WP:Citing sources) using those links, given that they're to a private, commercial website, it isn't likely to qualify as a reliable source as described at WP:Reliable sources.
 * Finally, when I browse to any of those addresses, I get a blank page. Blank pages aren't useful sources for citing here.
