Hello, I'm Lord Belbury. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Fifth Avenue have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

[edit]I removed the link from the several articles you'd added it to, as it didn't seem to be adding much information to any of them. You've added the link back to the Otto Hermann Kahn page, but as far as I can see thekahnsoffifthavenue.com contains only a single paragraph about Otto Kahn. If an external link says less about the subject than the Wikipedia article does, it's not a useful addition. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:37, 24 April 2021 (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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Lord Belbury (talk) 18:40, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Dear Belbury, I politely informed you that the dedicated website to Otto H. Kahn and his family link that I included on the Otto H. Kahn wikipedia page has additional information and pictures of the subject and his immediate family that is not included on the Wikipedia page and would be invaluable for students or general researchers of the subject. Your failure to understand this, leaves me to regard your actions to remove the link, not once, but twice, as misguided and incorrect. It is a dedicated website to Otto Kahn and his family. How it can have no relevance to the Wikipedia page for Otto H. Kahn I fail to see. I can point you in the direction of thousands of Wikipedia pages that all have associated external links to websites that deal directly with the subject matter. Your twice removal of the link I added therefore warrants me to wonder is this a form of internet bullying? I understand you have no right to remove a link without having an open discussion about the matter beforehand. This you did not have. You went ahead and removed the link upon your own decision, nobody elses. I therefore expect you to return the link. If you fail to do so, it will leave me with no option but to lodge a complaint.
- The website you're adding is advertising a book that hasn't been published yet. The website itself has only one paragraph of information about Otto Kahn, so it isn't a useful addition to his biography page.
- Your adding this link ten times to different articles warrents me to wonder if this is a form of paid promotion or self-promotion? Please take a look at Wikipedia's WP:PAID and WP:COI policies before adding this link again. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:06, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
