please also see Wikipedia's policies on external links. that's a nice-looking site you've put together, but adding a link to it to multiple articles that it isn't directly related to isn't in line with Wikipedia policies. Sssoul (talk) 23:52, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

update: re-adding the same link that other editors have removed is not a good way to proceed. if you feel there are compelling reasons why a link to your site should be added to a given article, you should state those reasons on the talk pages of the articles and let other editors reach a consensus about including it or not. thanks Sssoul (talk) 10:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Sssoul (talk) 10:58, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

reply[edit]

just to let you know that i replied to the message you left on Sabrebd's talk page - many Wikipedia editors reply on the same page where the "conversation" started, just to keep everything in one place. Sssoul (talk) 12:29, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 13:27, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
