- Specifically, I wanted to mention the links to camera reviews you've added to a number of articles—as you might have noticed, we're very big on neutrality here. While it is OK to cite reviews for factual information in them (e.g. the magnification of a zoom lens, in this case, or other such information), be careful not to portray something as being inherently better than something else, particularly in areas where this is a matter of opinion. By the way, if you do indeed think these reviews make good citations, this page here will show you how you can make them into proper citations, rather than just links in the middle of articles. dalahäst (talk) 08:10, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Canon EOS 7D. 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. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. 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. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 08:13, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Canon EOS-1D Mark III, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 08:14, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- Dr.K I would appreciate you taking another look at the links that I added. These reviews complimented the pages I added. I understand there the links here are "no follow", I have writers who write articles relating to photography equipment and educational in value. If I placed in wrong spot... it wasn't intentional.
- I replied on my talk page but you can also see my reply from this link. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 09:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
