Regarding edits made during December 21 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. – Luna Santin (talk) 04:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, appreciate your willingness to discuss this. Um. At first glance, it seems like the main purpose of the particular site you're linking to is to provide songs for download/sale -- to take an outside example, the article on Coca-Cola links to the company's official website, but not to the "Buy Coke here!" section of that website. Usually links which provide some sort of encyclopedic content are preferred. Hopefully that makes sense. Ultimately the big point is that we're not trying to be a link database (mozdev.org and other sites, of course, are trying to do just that). – Luna Santin (talk) 05:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
