Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Spamdexing 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. -- Siobhan Hansa 13:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

No, no, no...

But link in Spamdexing... this link "Black Hat SEO Tools and Forum" is alive! Why i can't place my link?

Because the link fails the external links guidelines you were pointed to above, provides no good, encyclopedic information, and you spammed it across a whole bunch of articles. We are here to build a GFDL encyclopedia. Please consider adding verified, encyclopedic content to articles instead of promoting external sites. Since you say "my link" you should also read our conflict of interest guideline.

If you believe, despite failing our guidelines, that the links will genuinely improve the encyclopedia articles you added them to, you can post to each article's talk page and see if you can persuade other editors that is is a good addition. Otherwise please refrain from adding the link to Wikipedia. -- Siobhan Hansa 00:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I can't talk with you, cos my vocabulary so small... but my site, that what Im "spamed" is almost encyclopedic site with minimal Ads.

In this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_page, where you see spam? Ins information site, most relevanted on Google, etc..

By spam we mean someone promoting a site on wikipedia by linking to that site from lots of articles. The site itself doesn't have to be commercial. You are posting a link to your site to many articles, and that is all you are doing. That is spamming here.

Also, because the sites are not in English they are not permitted in the external links sections.

Do not add these links back. -- Siobhan Hansa 17:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Why wiki have picture ((RU))? (i dont remember the code)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.85.161.178 (talk • contribs)

Sorry. I don't understand your question. -- Siobhan Hansa 03:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm.. picture, seems like "((RU))" its standard WIKI code, you know?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.85.161.178 (talk • contribs)

I think you mean {{ru icon}} (which looks like (in Russian)) and ru:. These are used to indicate Russian language. For instance, there is a ru:Wikipedia.

But that doesn't mean we allow just any content in languages other than English on the English (en:) Wikipedia (which is where you are currently posting). There are limited circumstances where foreign language links and content are appropriate:

- For sources - where there are no English language sources avaialble.

- Links to other Wikipedias.

- Original texts for the subject of an article (for example, to an Russian language text of Crime and Punishment in the Crime and Punishment article.),

- To official sites for the subject of an article that aren't available in English (for instance the Official administrative site for Moscow in the Moscow article).

Your site wasn't any of these. Even if it was, it would still be unacceptable to add it to multiple articles the way you did. It would be great if you would consider building up Wikipedia articles instead of posting links to them (you might want to try out ru:Wikipedia). -- Siobhan Hansa 13:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
