Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Johnny O'Keefe. 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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. 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. Thank you. Kariteh 12:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you there?

Shaman au 13:14, 24 June 2007 (UTC)I mean not to span or spark controversy. This is a very complicated thing. I do not want to be banned.[reply]

Shaman au 13:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC) My additions that you removed were warranted, If I have messed up with the links, it's not intentional. How do you talk about an important website without mentioning it's address?[reply]
