University of Bath[edit]

Hi. Can you please stop replacing the text 'University of Bath' with a SPAM link to the University's web site. Instead please use University of Bath so that it is hyperlinked to the Wikipedia page for the university. Thanks. Lopifalko (talk) 12:49, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Or to elaborate, slightly: If "University of Bath" is better linked, then the way to do this is "[[University of Bath]]" (which produces "University of Bath"). However, if a specific page of the U Bath website provides evidence for a particular assertion, then the way to add this is exemplified by:

<ref>"[http://www.bath.ac.uk/ceremonies/2011/summer/profiles/ Honorary graduates]", University of Bath. Accessed 14 January 2012. (A list of honorary graduates of 2011.)</ref>

which would produce an automatically-positioned and -numbered footnote reading

"Honorary graduates", University of Bath. Accessed 14 January 2012. (A list of honorary graduates of 2011.)

Various help pages hereabouts explain further. -- Hoary (talk) 13:09, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

http://.bath.ac.uk[edit]

Please do not add advertising or 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.--Hu12 (talk) 14:36, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proper linking[edit]

It is inappropriate to add links to the University of Bath's webpage directly within Wikipedia articles. Rather, within the article, you should add a WikiLink to the University of Bath page (generated by typing [[University of Bath]]). WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:48, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding cites[edit]

Hi, It's fine to add University of Bath citations to support article text but please add the webpage that gives the information about honorary degrees etc. To date you have add generic university pages. Thanks Span (talk) 17:53, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

January 2012[edit]

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. http://www.bath.ac.uk/external.html does not WP:Verify any of the claims you are adding to the article -- so so adding it to the articles is just spam.

Citations needed[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. TheMindsEye (talk) 15:17, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. TheMindsEye (talk) 16:37, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2012[edit]

Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Muhandes (talk) 19:56, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
