Link Question[edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I am not understanding in the wiki page you have the heading external links, where user add the relevant links for readers to know about more understanding of the main subject.

Recently I had added the following article "http://www.theactuary.com/features/2014/09/a-copula-approach-to-volatility-index-in-india/" which I found interesting on Copula with application in finance.

But this got deleted on the ground of no external links allowed,so I have following questions:

- Then why you have an external link heading? - Found a similar link in the your copula page, "Copulas & Correlation using Excel Simulation Articles" how this is being allowed then?

Really discourage us from doing any contribution.

Hi Arnies007, I took a look at the links you added to the articles, and the reason why they were removed because they seem to violate points 1 and 4 of this list. The article you have linked to is not primarily about Copula, but rather mentioned as a method in an article about a related topic. The other external links are links to websites dedicated entirely to discussion of the subject, which is why they are included in the External Links section.

I do hope you're not discouraged from helping out at Wikipedia, but if you ever have any questions feel free to pop by the help desk and ask if a link is acceptable (or if you have any other questions). Cheers, Primefac (talk) 20:34, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

September 2014[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Copula (probability theory). 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. Thank you. N B S H (talk) 19:25, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to VIX. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
