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 Pop music 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. 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. NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 11:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to Premier League. 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. Thanks. ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 11:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

You added pages which were content-free and only consisted of links. From WP:EL:

What should be linked

Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site if any.
An article about a book, a musical score, or some other media should link to a site hosting a copy of the work if none of the "Links normally to be avoided" criteria apply.
Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons.
Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews.

Your added links have already been removed by myself or other editors. And yes, Wikipedia only links to content, not pages with just links. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 11:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
