Please stop adding external links on many wiki, it's generally considered spam and it will quickly bring them to global blacklisting. --Vituzzu (talk) 12:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Vituzzu, I suggest you actually look at the ONE external link I added, and stop making baseless remarks. 81.156.124.239 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 12:53, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

You put it on several wikis and you did the same in the past. --Vituzzu (talk) 10:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I put it on two other wikis, not several, and these were translations of the first. It was reasonable to think that if the reference was relevant on one, it was relevant on the others. I am not a frequent contributor to Wikipedia, and therefore am not always aware of correct procedure. I had a comment from another editor which explained what I should do, and in a much more polite and user-friendly fashion.EJT (talk) 10:48, 7 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
