March 2024[edit]

Hello, I'm Bruce1ee. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Business directory have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. —Bruce1ee ^talk 08:26, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Dark store. 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. —Bruce1ee ^talk 09:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Package delivery. 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. —Bruce1ee ^talk 10:20, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Red links[edit]

Please do not remove red links (a link where the linked-to page does not exist) if the article may be plausibly be created in the future, see WP:REDDEAL. Thanks Verbcatcher (talk) 00:17, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About ECourier bd[edit]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give ECourier bd a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into ECourier Ltd. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Dotlines. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page ECourier bd, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Broc (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ECourier bd moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to ECourier bd. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Broc (talk) 09:06, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
