Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.

Hi. While you are encouraged to contribute to Wikipedia, simply adding links to the same website across multiple pages is generally discouraged. The reason is because Wikipedia doens't grow this way. It grows when content (rather than external links) is added to articles. For example, if you want to improve an article, try adding information rather than linking to your website. Secondly, we don't want Wikipedia to turn into some directory of external links. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and it's considered inappropriate to use it a platform for self-promotion. If you want to improve an article, spamming a certain website is not the solution. Try adding text to the article instead. :-) Regards, Khoikhoi 05:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
