(This is my first time responding to anything here, so please let me know if I'm doing it wrong. I did read about "talk" pages here, but still unsure if I'm doing it correctly.)

Anyway, I wanted to respond to this "spamming" accusation. Apparently it means something different here than anywhere else. I was simply trying to add valuable external links to relevant topics, not trying to sell anything. How would one go about adding the above site to those pages without being considered "spam"? Thanks. Mssturgeon 14:20, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still awaiting a response. If this is not the proper place, let me know and I will send my message there. Thanks. Mssturgeon 14:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributions to wikipedia consist mainly of adding external links and is considered WP:Spam. Looking through your contributions as a whole, the majority seem to be external link related only. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a link farm. If you have a source to contribute, first contribute some facts that you learned from that source, then cite the source. Don't simply direct readers to another site for the useful facts; add useful facts to the article, then cite the site where you found them. You're here to improve Wikipedia -- not just to funnel readers off Wikipedia and onto some other site, right? see Links normally to be avoided Hu12 15:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
