Adding of links to Dumaguete City
editPlease read Wikipedia's spam guidelines, external links guidelines, and especially what Wikipedia is not. I know that there is very little info on the web about the Philippines but it doesn't mean that adding links to your website is acceptable. Here are some points:
- Wikipedia is NOT a web directory. There are plenty of website out there where you can place your links such as Tanikalang Ginto (the Filipino Web Directory) and Alleba (another Filipino Web Directory).
- Saying that something is relevant is not a sufficient reason for including that something. A phone directory of all the businesses in Dumaguete City is certainly relevant and useful, but we don't put such in Wikipedia since Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia and not a phone book.
- We prefer content contributions in Wikipedia over contributions that point to content outside of Wikipedia. All of your contributions thus far is simply to add external links.
- You say that the website is relevant, but you only link to the homepage? Where is the relevant info specific to Dumaguete City?
I hope that you understand. Thanks for your enthusiasm. --seav (talk) 02:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Ormoc City. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
- Please remember to be civil. Whether a person lives in the Phillipines has no bearing on whether or not they have the right to edit an article. Corvus cornixtalk 23:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
