Spam links
[edit]Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Industrial heritage. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please stop adding advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in LMS Fowler Class 4F. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 11:04, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
LINKS
[edit]Hi there I only added those links as I thought they were appropriate to the subject... Apologies but thats what I thought was right... Its not advertising as non of the links go to commercial sites just sites with data... Regs ICLOK — Preceding unsigned comment added by ICLOK (talk • contribs) 11:01, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for your message. Simply, you were putting links in to your own websites. That's considered WP:BIAS and hence also fouls WP:SPAM. I am sure that your intentions were good, but please - don't do it again! Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 13:28, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
