Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. 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. --Guinnog 15:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. --Guinnog 15:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] The Clash

Yeah, I'm not quite sure why a link to a Clash web site is "inappropriate" on a page about the Clash. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Swessell (talk • contribs)

It really doesn't add much to the article, it's a Geocities site, it has been removed several times already. --Guinnog 15:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I think it adds just as much as any of the other Clash links listed on the page; it certainly has more content than some of them. Also I don't think being a "Geocities" site makes a site "inappropriate." Swessell 15:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

In that case we disagree and you should feel free to make your argument for its inclusion on the article's talk page. If a consensus can be arrived at for its inclusion I would have no problem with that. Repeatedly adding the link after it has been deleted won't work. --Guinnog 15:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, I only added it again because I thought I added it wrong, not because I thought it had been deleted. Swessell 16:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
No problem. We all make mistakes and I am here to help. Let me know if I can do anything for you. --Guinnog 16:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
