RE: What's Your Problem?[edit]

Technically, under our policies, you can't just simply add links to your websites from articles, as it is advertising. Others can add a link, but not someone directly involved. I'm terribly sorry, and I'm sorry if I am taking this too far. Oh, and I am not a "keeper of the TV pages", and no one else is. That is also not allowed. Again, sorry. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:03, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm trying to say is that it is perfectly fine as a source (as you appear to sometimes be doing), but don't add it too rapidly like an advertiser would do. That's why we encourage you to add content, not just links, to the encyclopedia. Several of your edits consist of simply adding the external link. In the future, you can still add it as a source, but be careful if you haven't added any content from there to an article. Again, I'm sorry if I have took this too far. Thanks. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:52, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
