Links to personal websites

Hi, you should not link to any websites that you own or maintain (see WP:EL#ADV). Thanks. → AA ^(talk) — 17:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which website link are you referring to and on which page? --Kashif Yaqoob Butt (talk) 13:58, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Links to www.LinkToIslam.net (which on your userpage you say is your site). Even if it wasn't a site managed by you, linking to it would nevertheless be inappropriate per the guidelines in WP:EL. → AA ^(talk) — 17:21, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. So, to avoid this in the future, what is the process of adding external links? Should I ask someone before changing a page? --Kashif Yaqoob Butt (talk) 19:55, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the link is to a site you own/manage, then you should raise a topic in the talk page and let another editor add it to the article. In general, we only add links that provide further reading material which has information that is not available in the article itself. Have a read of the various policies and guidelines here to familiarise yourself with them which will help you in navigating your way around the encyclopedia. Happy editing! → AA ^(talk) — 08:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Do I have to remove the link from user page as well?
--Kashif Yaqoob Butt (talk) 21:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best to remove it from your userpage too. You can review WP:USER & WP:EL to aquaint yourself with what can/cannot be included. → AA ^(talk) — 00:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the link but left the website's name (Link To Islam) in there. --Kashif Yaqoob Butt (talk) 00:29, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
