Adding external links

Sorry, I was using a template message and the "promotional" part of it wasn't relevant to you, and my concern was more about Wikipedia's policy on external links that advises to keep links to other sites to a minimum. I thought the Charlie Hodgson and Nani (footballer) articles had sufficient number of outbound links. Though looking back now, I think the Statbunker link on the Hodgson article was fine, so I'm putting it back in. I apologize for the machine-generated message, let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. --Mosmof (talk) 20:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you see a link that's no longer good, you're more than welcome to be bold and remove it. And if you believe the link you're including works better than or adds to current links, I'd go ahead. But it's sometimes good idea to discuss in the talk page, especially if you have any association with the site you're linking to (I have no idea if you do). --Mosmof (talk) 03:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 76.102.12.35 (talk) 20:10, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
