Hello, I'm Corkythehornetfan. Because you are new, I wanted to let you know why I've removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Virginia Tech. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. The link doesn't need to be in the article. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Corkythehornetfan 17:49, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 19:26, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
