Hello, I'm Wham2001. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Tourism in India have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Why they are inappropriate for an enclyopedia Rahul18500 (talk) 14:06, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See the guideline linked in my post above, and in particular this section. The site that you linked to is a blog, and the guideline specifically lists blogs as external links to be avoided; see point 11.

If you're enthusiastic about writing about India then the best way to contribute to Wikipedia is to improve our articles. Many articles on Indian topics are in need of attention from an expert, or indeed an editor who isn't an expert, but has time and language skills to do the research on a topic. I've put a welcome message at the top of this page which has helpful links on how to contribute to Wikipedia, but the basics of improving articles are quite simple: always work from the best quality sources, such as books or academic papers written by experts, or articles in respected national newspapers; summarize the sources in your own words in the article, sticking to what the sources say; always cite the sources that you've used; if you get reverted, discuss on the article talk page.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Kumbhalgarh. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Serols (talk) 16:32, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
