Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Email address have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Inline external links are presumptively spam on Wikipedia and are never okay. Please don't do this again. If a company doesn't have a Wikipedia article it shouldn't be referred to in other Wikipedia articles. Julietdeltalima (talk) 19:55, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

@Julietdeltalima: Thanks for your heads-up note about the revert. If I find some time I'll add the Pobox company page and then reference that, instead; but it will have to wait for another day. FWIW, applying the same standard regarding inline external links would require removal of the 'postale.io' and 'Memail' links in that same paragraph; I fixed-up the existing 'Fastmail' link because I found an existing company page to reference instead. I'll leave a note on the Talk:Email address page to see if anyone wants to volunteer some TLC for the postale.io and Memail data. Asalewski (talk) 17:55, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

@Julietdeltalima: I found a few minutes to circle back on this. I just removed the inline external links for postale.io and 'MeMail' (now with a capital em), but left the citations. I also re-added 'Pobox' to the list, but this time not as an inline external link. I said above that I would create a Pobox company page to reference; after reading through some of the guidelines (especially WP:COMPANY) I no longer think that would be appropriate (at least not with a fair amount of additional research). In any event, the name as it appears inline in Email address#Subaddressing does not need to be a link; the citation is enough to document the reference. Thanks again for the heads-up, above.
