Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.--John (talk) 20:03, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Frustration at links being removed

Hi,

I cannot fathom what is "spammy" about posting a link to utterly relevant educational content...? I don't even work for the Edinburgh Video Guide! I own a shop in Bruntsfield - I can't post relevant links to a page about my own neighbourhood or city?!?!! Something VERY badly wrong here.

Who can I complain to about this decision to remove? It's fundamentally inappropriate.

Thanks,

I understand your frustration. I suggest raising this at a Wiki-project so that others can assess whether your links are worth adding. You should review WP:ELNO first. Let me know if you need any help with this. --John (talk) 20:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
