Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Brown diamonds. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1] MrOllie (talk) 20:36, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
This is not spam. Well regarded scholarly journal. It was on the brown diamond page beforehand and I was just updating the link as the page location had changed.
- Please see WP:COI, WP:CITESPAM, and kindly stop reinserting this link. - MrOllie (talk) 20:49, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.
