Links to Earthwatch

I guess I was too nice on the Meerkat talk page - grrr. Please don't add mentions and links to Earthwatch on all possible articles. I know you are acting with the best of intentions, but a mass adding of links is still considered WP:LINKSPAM and it seems you have a conflict of interest - please take a look at this: WP:COI, thanks.

I just removed a few other spam links. If you want to report on the conservation efforts in an encyclopedic style, this is very welcome; but adding 'earthwatch recruits' randomly is just plain spamming, even if with good intentions. Rror (talk) 22:56, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Fossa (animal) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, 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. Rror (talk) 23:04, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
