June 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 17:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

..Virgil; I pulled your TDD link and would have done the Ant one if Mr Ollie had got their first. It's not just the WP policy on linking, it's that the tutorials weren't that compelling, or, to put my Ant team hat on, very good examples of Ant scripts. Wikibooks has an Ant topic [[1]] where you could not only contribute content, but other participants in the authoring process can provide constructive feedback that will improve the quality of the tutorials.

Hello, I am not spamming[edit]

Hello, Recently you removed couple of links to my blog. More specifically I am thinking to the link to my wxWidgets tutorial. Do you know something about wxWidgets? I am not spamming, I am not gaining any money from my blog and I only had a good tutorial which I wanted people to read in order to get more wxWidgets knowledge. This tutorial is good on wxWidgets community sites but is not good to appear on wikipedia external links? Also you removed some java tutorials for which I only wanted people to be aware and to get more knowledge. Is not this one of the purposes of wikipedia? One of the scopes of wikipedia is to share and increase knowledge among people, is not like that?

Thanks, Virgil —Preceding unsigned comment added by Virgiltrasca (talkcontribs) 08:43, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. On Wikipedia we generally do not allow links to people's blogs, and we specifically do not allow people to submit links to their own blogs. See the guidelines on this subject at WP:COI and WP:EL. - MrOllie (talk) 14:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
