Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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) 16:54, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I am very confused why the links have been removed. I have researched 3D modelling and found a very good article: [2]https://xo3d.co.uk/resources/3d-modelling/

I have checked other links on the pages and they are linking to very similar articles that have even less or worse information on them? So why is my link removed and these are not? Its the same on all pages I added links on.

It was an obvious advertisement. We do not use advertising as sources. Wikipedia is a large site and volunteer time is limited - if you have noticed other advertisements used as citations, the way to fix that is to swap them out for sources that meet WP:RS - not to make the problem worse by adding more advertising to Wikipedia.
