I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

editPlease do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. —Khoikhoi 02:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. Wikipedia policy says that we shouldn't link to websites when it would be more beneficial to just use the site as reference to add text to the article. Wikipedia is all about adding content, not adding external links. —Khoikhoi 03:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- Hi again. If the article references good primary sources, they should be used for the article (in a Wikipedia-written summary) rather than someone else's. I did look at your edits individually, it appears that you were adding links to the same website on about 10 articles. Also, sign your posts like this: ~~~~ or like this: --~~~~ —Khoikhoi 02:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
