From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. 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.

Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia, as you did in Finance. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Mr Stephen 21:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. Girolamo Savonarola 21:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Response to your comments
Please see Wikipedia:Replies_to_common_objections#Advertisers, Wikipedia:External links, and Wikipedia:Spam. Furthermore, you can talk to me (or any other user) by hitting the discussion tab at the top of my user page and then editing that page. Thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 22:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
You assume that I approve of all IMDb links, which is a major assumption. As I recall, infopaw is a collection of links to other sites to other sites, so it doesn't fit any of WP:EL "What should be linked to". Can I also point you at Wikipedia:External links, especially "Links normally to be avoided", sub-section 3; and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, especially "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files" sub-section 1. In the long run, if other editors find your site useful, they will link to it, but until then please don't use WP to try and publicise it. If you would like a broader opinion, you could ask again at Wikipedia:Village pump. Regards, Mr Stephen 22:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
