From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with links to strongilis.com (*|search current). Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. Since Wikipedia uses Nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

  • I am the owner of the domain strongilis.com and would like to know why has my website been removed from Wikipedia when in fact it does not violate any of your terms such as the external links guideline and spam policies.

My website provides information to users. Also I have not added this website to wikipedia, it has been done by users / visitors to my website, and it is unfair to call me a spammer.

I have been linked to wikipedia for months now without any problems, and as mentioned by you, my search engine will not rank me higher when linked to you, so whats the point? - free reliable info, is nt that what wikipedia stands for?. Its just that users as well as myself cannot understand why Wikipedia is denying users the right to accurate and reliable information. I have read your guidelines and have forwarded a copy to my attorney considering the consequences and implications of classifying us as spammers. I find this insulting, unproductive and unfair to the users and readers of wikipedia. Thank you for keeping Wikipedia spam-free, but dont punish the little guys that are providing reliable and accurate information to your readers (i am also a reader of wiki, and would have never known about my website been classified as spam, if I never searched strongilis.com for the fun of it.)

Please reconsider as the above has dire consequences to the wikipedia i and you fought for. Thank you.
