Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Hard money loan. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Commercial hard money. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Gwernol 21:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The references on any topic are carefully reviewed to be similar to the topic, non solicitous of business, and if a directory, a free all inclusive directory similar to DMOZ. the purpose of alternate directories to DMOZ is clear. DMOZ has ceased responding to the majority of listing requests for the past four years. Moreover their editors are warned to not have an interest in the catagory they edit and or incentive to block listings. For that reason, DMOZ is still a source of information, but in the spirit of WIKIpedia, additional and truly open directories are sought if DMOZ is used as an information point.

Further DMOZ states not data on the topic. The directory listed does and is open and free and non solicitous. Therefore, your insistance on DMOZ as the sole source is not forward thinking. If you have an article on the topic you would like to see listed as reference please list it as reference is an important part of the articles on WIKI.

Be carefull to differntiate commercial spam from alternative directories other than DMOZ. For instance Weird Loans is one such source. It is owned by a large mainstream publishing company, but appears to be a friendly directory of sorts. Because it is free and open it is a good source.

I have restored the listing reference and would like you to respect that contribution and cease stalking this user.
