You are continuing to add links. What follows is one of our standard warning templates:

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Bound Stems. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. 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 rather than re-adding it. Thank you. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 14:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Paul,
If you have seen the website that I am linking to then you can tell that the information on it is pertinant and valuable information about each and every one of these bands worthy of being mentioned and given praise. Through Daytrotter the bands are making music histoy. The bands themselves choose to record these special sessions and they would like nothing other than to get recognized for their time and efforts.

Hi Phil, I do not mean to pass any judgment about how useful the links are. I would suggest, though, that you follow our WP:COI guidelines and mention the links on the Talk pages of the articles, and then the editors who usually edit those articles about the specific bands can decide whether or not to add them. Thanks much, --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 18:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
