When you're writing or adding to an article, make sure everything you're contributing is [[WP:TONE|encyclopedic]] in nature, and writting from a [[WP:NPOV|neutral perspective]]. Also, you should probably read [[WP:EL]] to see what external links are used on wikipedia, so as not to cross the line into [[WP:SPAM]] or other advertising. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll do everything I can to help. Thanks!

When you add content, there's no need to add an external link for every business as per [[WP:EL]]. If something is notable enough for a link, it should have it's own wikipedia entry, and a link will be on that page. External links should only be used to link to content that directly has information about the subject, for example, an article on Tyler, Texas, doesn't need to contain external links to hospitals. That's advertising, in a way, which isn't allowed on wikipedia. |

Tyler, Texas
I noticed you working on the page for Tyler, Texas, that's some nice work you're doing. I reinstated the sister cities section, and added a proper link to the sister cities home page as a proper source. Thanks! Snowfire51 (talk) 19:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Please don't put purely commercial links on articles the way you did to East Texas. Promotional sections and commercial links are not appropriate. Pharmboy (talk) 20:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

When you're writing or adding to an article, make sure everything you're contributing is encyclopedic in nature, and writting from a neutral perspective. Also, you should probably read WP:EL to see what external links are used on wikipedia, so as not to cross the line into WP:SPAM or other advertising.
