Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Automatic writing do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Angel Of Sadness T/C 18:55, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I was trying to update the link to my article on how to channel by automatic writing - the article is the same, but the old link went to my old website www.dearbrutus.com (which is about to expire)whereas the new link goes to my blog www.whatismagic.com. I can't interact with people who have questions or who want more information from the old website, but I will be able to do this from the blog. I made the link change again, if there's some reason why this is not okay please let me know. - Bob
- There is two of reasons why the link shouldn't be inserted as per the external links guidelines:
- It's a blog
- It's a link that could be intended to promote a website

[edit] Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Automatic writing. 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. Lithoderm 18:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
