justtollywood.com
editHello.
I notice you've been adding links to profiles on justtollywood.com to numerous articles, sometimes at several places in one article. Can I ask you to stop that for now and read guideline on external links so that we can discuss this? I believe that these pages do not pass this guideline and should not be added. In particular, they shouldn't be added to the infobox and mascerade as the personal homepage of an actor, and they shouldn't be added in a new gallery section.
As mention in the guideline, "any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article" should not be added. From the sample I've looked at, none of those profiles do that. Image collections aren't, in particular, a reason to link to them. As a matter of fact, from a glance I would think that they do not even own copyright to all of those images, so we quite explicitly mustn't link to them.
What do you think?

external link policy
editPlease do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Sridevi. 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.-- The Red Pen of Doom 15:42, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
