Adding external links

So Mike Sexton is a big name in poker but how would you mind adding external links to some of the big names in poker. I have just recently "discovered" a website which is a great source when it comes to poker and poker generally. I have been reading some of their bio's of poker players and they are well written and should be a nice supplement to wikipedia. I want to discuss adding several external links to some of the bigger names in poker. I have seen that poker-babes.com is another frequent poker guide at several pages here, but would it be too much with another site? Let me know what you think. This is the main page of their poker player profiles http://www.ixgames.com/poker_player_profiles/

Other poker players that are well known

http://www.ixgames.com/annie_duke/ http://www.ixgames.com/barry_greenstein/ http://www.ixgames.com/daniel_negreanu/ http://www.ixgames.com/doyle_brunson/ http://www.ixgames.com/gus_hansen/ http://www.ixgames.com/mike_matusow/ http://www.ixgames.com/howard_lederer/ http://www.ixgames.com/men_the_master_nguyen/ http://www.ixgames.com/mike_sexton/ http://www.ixgames.com/vince_van_patten/

So what do you editors think about adding some external links to this site and their bio pages of poker players? And no I dont work for them. Just think they have good material. Johan Lindblom 22:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You "recently" "discovered" a site that you've been spamming links to for the past year. Your entire wikipedia contributions have been to spam links to your site, last year and now today. While perhaps some of these articles on your site would merit being added to articles, you adding them is confict of interest spam. Please don't do it again. 2005 23:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ok im gonna be honest here, this is not my site but a friend of mine. I recently dicovered their biography pages. Still they have great material that's the main thing here. When I "spammed" links last year i was ignorant as i didnt know the rules etc how to proceed. I havnt spammed links for the past year only on some occasions. SmartGuy sent me a message about how i could talk and discuss this in pages. He learnt me something new by sending me a message yesterday. If you think there are some good information on ixgames please add some pages. I think they deserve some recognition. But what I think is unrelevant, it's what you think that is important here.
