  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. [1] MER-C 11:07, 23 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

WRT the link at balancethat.in Disclosure- I own the website that hosts the link and have authored the article present at the link. The website is non-commercial with no affiliates/clients and this is not a paid contribution. The article linked to does not include references/ citations/ endorsements/links to any individual(s)/author(s)/companies/organization(s). The link is proposed to be added for its relevance to the topic for the benefit of Wikipedia readers.

(The link has not yet been added) Request fellow Wikipedia editors to inspect the link for compliance. YS 05:51, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

OK, so you were just spamming your website into Wikipedia. Please see notices above; that is not what WP is for. I amended the link in your statement, so it is just the domainJytdog (talk) 23:12, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I went and posted a "conflicted edit request" on the talk page of the futures article. See Talk:Futures_contract#Link_to_an_external_website. That is how to do this, ethically. Jytdog (talk) 04:00, 26 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
