Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Sennacherib 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. Thank you. TedFrank 13:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- We did not create the link to increase our search engine ranking or to win a popularity contest by using the Wikipedia site. We have numerous videos all over the web and our own marketing tools. The fact that someone labels the Pergamon Altar section in the Bible as "trivia" because it deals with the Bible only illustrates our point. The Wikipedia site is guilty of numerous errors and snide remarks in regards to the Bible and religion in general. I am sure others on here also provide links to related topics which show different viewpoints and additional information. Funny how links or articles relating to the Bible get labeled as "violating guidelines". Truth hurts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Formerthings (talk • contribs) 14:09, March 17 2007 (UTC)
