Welcome

Hi RobinDagos, and Welcome to Wikipedia!

My name is Λua∫Wise and I have been on Wikipedia for sometime now. I have been wandering around when I saw your name and decided to drop by to see if you need help with Wikipedia. I have also attached this list of some links that might help you:

• WP:Tutorial
• WP:How to edit a page
• WP:How to write a great article
• WP:Manual of Style.

You should also note that you have to sign your comments by using four of those ~ at the end of your messages (i.e. ~~~~, this will simply place your user name and date; see my signature at the end of this message as an example.)
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have a question or require help with Wikipedia, you can leave me a new message here.
P.S. Some new users find editing Wikipedia a bit difficult at first, but it only seems this way. In fact it is quite easy to get used to editing it and actually finding that enjoyable ! :)
Good luck! :)

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 nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. 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. Ckatz^chat_spy 19:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. However, the link does not comply with the external links guideline, and as such has been removed. Moreover, systematically adding the link to a large number of TV-related articles is also contrary to accepted practice. (Wikipedia isn't just a collection of links, which is why articles don't contain dozens of listing s for all of the possible fan sites out there.) Thanks, though, and please don't let this discourage you from contributing information to the project. Cheers. --Ckatz^chat_spy 19:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Spamming

Hello!
In regards to your question, the answer is not always very clear. Yet, I must say that here on Wikipedia, spamming is considered to be really annoying, in fact, we have a project dedicated only to getting rid of spam links and material ( WP:SPAM ); many people take advantage of Wikipedia to advertise their own sites or interests unfortunately. You might ask about IMDB, or other web sites, well.... they are used here as sources, not simply to advertise the sites themselves (take a look at this article ) Commercial web sites are usually considered spamming unless they are important to the article or they are used as sources. If you believe that the link you provided is not spam, and it will benefit the readers, use it as a source for a certain statement. For that, you can go to WP:CITE.You might also want to consider this. If you feel that this is unjust and there are articles who have spam links, please report their names to me, and I will have the links removed if appropriate. Cheers!
