Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Fine art 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. Lithoderm 23:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Art. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Lithoderm 00:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Golden Gate Park. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. TheFeds 21:00, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Harryjjj, External links is would generally be a more appropriate place for that. Please don't put it in the article body. (WP:MOSLINK)

I'm a little concerned that you're linking to your own personal work-related website. Please justify that this is not an effort to advertise your services. TheFeds 21:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for editing that. I understand your position—when the site you linked contained your résumé and other samples of your professional work, I wasn't sure if this was an attempt to promote yourself or to add useful content to the article. The linked pages are definitely informative, however. (One of the things with Wikipedia is that the community is very sensitive to self-published material, especially when linked by the author himself. Some go so far as to insist that only widely-recognized experts be linked to or cited in this fashion—actually, that's pretty much what the standard policy says, because there's a lot of concern about people promoting discredited fringe theories using self-published web pages. In your case, that's clearly not what's going on.) TheFeds 21:34, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
