User talk:John F Ryall

John Wikipedia does have rules about links to commercial sites. What is seen as commercial spam is deleted. I have reviewed the link you are adding to many Medway and Kent sites- and the home page you link to is not relevant- but following your /sitemap link, I can see pages that are specific to the subject- and though I cannot guarentee that other editors won't think that adding so many links is merely an attempt to push up your google rating- I would suggest you link to the specific page that addresses that community in each case. I will cross post this to the Kent talk page. Clem

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please read the above. Adding irrelevant links to pages will not improve any rankings. Links to individual stories, where they are supported in the text of an article may be appropriate; but your current link farm will be removed. Kbthompson (talk) 10:32, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
