[edit] Welcome + Hadise

Welcome to Wikipedia. The reason why I write to you, you probably know. Please have a look at WP:SPAM. Obviously, you cannot put your website (I am almost sure it is yours, but that does not matter for the moment) in this way as an external link or source for this article. I could of course advise you to put a link to your Hadise page there, but even then there are major problems:

1) your site is in Dutch - how are people going to know that they have to click on those balloons on the left?

2) the layout is confusing, with blue underlined text that links nowhere and red text that does link. Again: what about people who do not speak Dutch?

3) one of the pages has a list of links to newspapers. That again would be construed as spam (not self publicizing of course, but it does not need to be yours to be spam)

Note that an external reference to a very long list of links is as frowned upon as a very long list of external links... Putting everything on a blog is no easy way out.

Look, I'd rather put in your link (to the Hadise part of the site) instead of the one to the Humo interview, but this will not work. Can you translate these short texts about her life and career in English? Do not forget: this is not the Dutch or Turkish but the ENGLISH wikipedia!

Thanks for considering my request, and again, in spite of all, welcome to Wikipedia!--Pan Gerwazy 13:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
