Digitaldomain

I work at a large research library. We are digitizing unique historical documents and making them available as primary resources (links to digitized items with information about those items) on the Internet. These items include a wide range of photographs, manuscripts, and imprints. I am following Wikipedia's policy "to encourage librarians and others in cultural heritage institutions to place links to their primary resources (WP:CURATOR)." This policy has come into play after I received the comments below.

External links

Hi Digitaldomain. Please be more cautious in choosing which links to add to the External links section of articles. I noticed that you added a link to a very specific event to quite a few articles today that it did not belong in. It might be useful for you to read the external link guideline. Essentially, external links should be used sparingly and should be directly related to the topic at hand. A performance of someone reading a letter at an event commemorating another event should likely only be included on the website of the performer, and only if it is a notable performance. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any other experienced wikipedian. Karanacs (talk) 15:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Hi Digitaldomain,

I just wanted to make sure that you had seen the reply at the bottom of my user talk page earlier. I had meant to leave a note for you and had gotten distracted. (You don't have to reply; it's just that if you hadn't noticed it, I didn't want you to think I had ignored you.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:52, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Clarifying the Issues

I would like to thank everyone for their feedback. It is interesting to note the new policy of Wikipedia to encourage librarians and others in cultural heritage institutions to place links to their primary resources. I have clarified this policy on the External Links board and feel confident that I am following the rules allowing "Museum curators, librarians, archivists, art historians, heritage interpreters, conservators, documentation managers, subject specialists, and managers of a special collection (or similar profession) ... to use their knowledge to help improve Wikipedia, or to share their information with Wikipedia in the form of links to their resources (WP:CURATOR)."
