Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Ganesha 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. I believe this link has been rejected before. Are you a sock puppet by any chance?

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ganesha. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 policy for further explanations. 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. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Please take this issue to the talk page for Ganesha if you do not agree. Also note that this link was first rejected when posted from an IP user: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Ganesha&diff=next&oldid=109400132 On that attempt it was rejected by editor Natalie Erin.

In regards to appropriate external links
[edit]Hello Buddhipriya, please review the external link [1] before removing it again. You have indicated that it is not appropriate but you have not said why. Please see the content before judging its merit. The page is from the website of Sahaja Yoga (Canada) which is a universal religious movement that holds Shri Ganesha in the highest regard. The information there is consistent with scripture.
I reviewed it prior to removing it, thanks. Please see my reply to the question on my talk page. Buddhipriya 20:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
