Welcome to Wikipedia. One or more of the external links you added in this edit to the page Microsoft Word 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. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Ooops, sorry I responded on your talk page and I think you want me to respond here (do different editors like responses in different places?)

Thanks for your comments on my talk page. You request that I stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, however I'm not sure why you consider my article to be inappropriate. I thought (and think) that my article is informative and accurate. Could you let me know why you think this article inappropriate? Thanks, very much --Paulpark (talk) 22:24, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a free advertising medium for your own websites. We revert hundreds of links a day for the same reason. Further information can be found on the following policy pages; WP:EL, WP:SPAM, and conflict of interest. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response Ohnoitsjamie. Could you explain why the article I linked to is inappropriate? The only possible reason I can think of is that the article is published on my site. Is that the reason - am I not allowed to publish links to my site even if the content is superb (which it is)?

I need to know whether you have a problem with the content. Thanks very much --Paulpark (talk) 23:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
