Adding external links
editPlease read WP:EL - too many external links is severely frowned upon! Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- All those sites already link to the BBC which is more than adequate for meeting WP:EL. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Well really. If you check your previous edits you'll note that I wasn't alone in removing your mass spamming of external links. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a sports service. The articles are about the history, the heritage, the crest, the colours, the managers, the players of the club, not who scored what goal when and who's thinking of leaving. The BBC is more than adequate for this purpose. Thanks. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your mail. I believe I've already addressed your concern here. Sorry if you feel you've wasted some time on this. Why not try enhancing an article you're particularly interested in rather than just adding external links to ones that you have no specific focus on? Cheers.

- Well, Wikipedia isn't a vessel for news or stats, it's an encyclopaedia. Notable statistics are covered by each articles (or sub articles thereof) and news belongs in Wikinews. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Planet F1 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TheProf | Talk 16:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Adding Sky Sports links
editIf you're going to add the Sky Sports link to team pages please don't delete other useful links while you're doing it. srushe (talk) 12:39, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
A question
editCan I ask whether you are the David Keywood who is a Marketing Account Manager for BSkyB? Some research would appear to indicate that you are and that would mean that you're promoting your own organisation in the External links sections of multiple pages. srushe (talk) 17:09, 4 February 2009 (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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 17:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

editHow do i reply?
- However adding that many links and in ones that don't always fit looks like spam. Take a look at Wikipedia:Spam. Also use the articles talk pages to see if other editors think adding the link is a good idea. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 17:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
