External links

Please note that Wikipedia has a policy about external links. See also What Wikipedia is not . Links should elaborate on the subject of the article, and should be specific to that subject. For example, on the Photojournalism article, links should lead to articles about photojournalism. Moreover, they should have some substance, and per the policy I've noted, should not be just galleries. A generic link to a photographic arts website doesn't meet the criteria defined in those policies. Mindmatrix 19:19, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

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 Fine art photography 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. Rror (talk) 20:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Fine art photography. 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.
