Welcome![edit]

Hello, Donrocks, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Aftercare, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

May 2017[edit]

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Aftercare. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
- Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references

Thank you. Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:43, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Aftercare. 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. Thank you. Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Links on a disambiguation page[edit]

There are two things wrong with your contributions:

1. You keep adding these links to something that isn't an article, but rather a disambiguation page. Look at it--there's not any content other than links to other Wikipedia articles. Please read the message above about these links.

2. Whether an organization is a "charity that helps people" or not is irrelevant to whether or not Wikipedia considers a link to its outside website promotional or spam. Wikipedia isn't a free advertising platform for anyone, whether for profit or not. If you think I'm wrong, please ask the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE for more guidance; they will tell you the exact same thing. Thanks for your compliance with Wikipedia standards. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:58, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2017[edit]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Aftercare. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This is completely inappropriate, for the reasons I've identified above. Julietdeltalima (talk) 23:01, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
