User talk:Craig narrow gauge

You probably shouldn't add links to your own site. You did the right thing on Talk:North Pacific Coast Railroad, and I have added the link there. However, on other railroads, there does not seem to be much information. In particular, see Wikipedia:External links#Links normally to be avoided: "Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article." --NE2 18:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since you don't appear to have read that, here's a form letter:

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 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 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. --NE2 18:19, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Bodie and Benton Railway and Commercial Company. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Martin451 (talk) 18:21, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the last warning as User:NE2 does not think it was appropriate. I apologise for calling you a vandal, however I think you should not be adding multiple external links. I would like to thank you for taking the matter to the appropriate talk pages. Martin451 (talk) 20:46, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You received these suggestions because we're trying a little test to see if SuggestBot is helpful for newer Wikipedia editors -- but normally it only makes suggestions for people who ask for them explicitly on the SuggestBot request page. We won't post suggestions on your talk page again unless you ask for them. SuggestBot was created by ForteTuba--please let him know if you like it, or if you don't, or you feel that it was a good or bad idea to make these suggestions to you as a newer Wikipedia user.

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, by following links from them to other articles and by matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians to find things you might be interested in. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work, such as stub articles that need to be made longer, cleanup articles that need writing help, and so on. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. -- SuggestBot (talk) 05:54, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
