- If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
- It looks as if you object to links I provided from a food publication I read. Dining Chicago is a Chicago-based TV show, magazine and website that covers food and dining. Its principal writer, Leah Zeldes, is a respected journalist who also writes for other media, such as the Chicago Sun-Times. I follow her work, and thought it provided useful information and citations. So I added some. How is that advertising or a conflict of interest? 99.73.137.73 (talk) 05:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Chinook salmon. 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 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. 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Epipelagic (talk) 00:06, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
- Not at all clear why my citation in Chinook salmon was "inappropriate" or "spam." I don't care enough to argue about it, but I'm curious as to why you'd think a citation from a factual article by a respected food journalist in a would be inappropriate. It's not linking to anybody selling salmon or by anyone with a vested interest, so I don't see how it's spam, either. I'm interested in food and I follow this writer. I thought Wikipedia wanted citations. 99.73.137.73 (talk) 05:05, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
