[edit]
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 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. [1] GermanJoe (talk) 14:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hello, User talk:GermanJoe. I carefully read what the Wikipedia is not, and Wikipedia:Spam. I see your point in general, but I cannot find the exact rule I violated. Can you please specify, what exactly was wrong with my edits and how to avoid such mistakes in the future. Thanks. --Halynaheylo (talk) 14:56, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hello, most importantly the site is not a reliable source to begin with, but a commercial website with marketing "articles" and blog posts with a clear promotional agenda and questionable credibility. The repeated addition of such links is frowned upon and usually seen as spam. If you'd like to contribute content, please base it on reliable, non-promotional sources from acknowledged experts in reputed independent publications. Please make also sure to disclose any personal or professional connection you might have with a given topic - see WP:COI with more information about this particular aspect. Thank you for your consideration. If you have further questions, I recommend to ask at WP:Teahouse (a forum for new editors) - most users do not watch other editor's user talkpages.
