Literapedia links

Hi there; I see from your contribution history that you have been adding links to Literapedia on several articles in addition to the Dune (novel) article which I have on my watchlist and where I first encountered your argument for inclusion of this website. I also noticed you created an article for Literapedia. I think there are a few content policies of which you may be unaware so I'm writing to flag these for you and to suggest you take a look:

WP:COI - I am under the impression from your contribution history that you have some link with Literapedia or the school which operates this project. I think you ought to disclose this, if this is the case.
WP:NOTE - this contains a good deal of information on notability guidelines for the inclusion of content on Wikipedia. I have tagged Literapedia with the {{notability}} template because the article does not establish notability by way of third party, independent, reliable sources.
WP:LINKSPAM - this article gives some advice on how external link spamming may be considered disruptive to Wikipedia. Please note the opening paragraph which reads "Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed...repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed."
WP:EL - this guideline explains what sort of links are valid, and which are not, for inclusion into article content. In particular, please read WP:ELNO.

I hope this is helpful and explains things a little more clearly. If you need any further advice or clarifications just write in reply here on your own talk page and I will respond since I've now added this to my watch list. Coldmachine^Talk 16:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
