wikipedia - adding links

Van Hellseek · 7 Jan 2007 at 20:20

does anyone know the rules about adding links? i've just been blocked for 24 hours for spamming after adding my sites link to relevent articles. they were all directly relevant and nothing tenuous so i don't see what the problem is. :confused:

i'm not hugely bothered by it, just a bit annoyed because it seems i've been the victim of a trigger-happy mod. :/

shhh or they will beat you down again. Do you think this is a democracy?

(i would pm the mod who banned you for a reason)

Whats your website?

they don't like too many external links, especially if nothing in the article was taken from that website. if you added your link to a few articles but didn't actually add anything to the article it can be classes as spam
