Your links today

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you'll have a chance to look at the Five Pillars of Wikipedia and some of the other main policies and guidelines. One of them is WP:NOTADVERTISING, which disallows links to commercial sales sites, including auctions. We've reverted the comic-auction sites as linkspam, and ask you to understand and to follow community consensus on these sorts of things. Thanks, -- Tenebrae (talk) 18:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused. I run the most popular site on the internet for comic art and I assumed links to view comic art from any artist would be worthwhile on wikipedia. That's why I added the links. Should I create a special landing page that doesn't have that ebay column on the search results page? I don't mind doing that at all. However, I still do not see how what I did was considered by you to be an auction site, or a commercial site. Maybe you are not familiar with my site? -Bill

I went to your site. I saw artwork for sale and/or being auctioned.

Adding your own site throughout Wikipedia is also a breach of the Conflict-of-interest policy.

No offense is meant. But please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. A good place to start is The Five Pillars of Wikipedia. Please simply keep in mind that the goal of this encyclopedia is the free dissemination of factual information, and anything else is extraneous to that mission. We appreciate your understanding. --Tenebrae (talk) 02:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
