Hi
I notice that the material you are trying to link to says a short version also appeared in the Business Standard.
Was this a newspaper article? If so it can probably be used as a source in the body of text. A short sentence might be added based on that, if appropriate. Unfortunately blogs are not considered "reliable" as they can be added by anybody and can say anything without having to be substantiated.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks Chaosdruid ( talk) 09:53, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- Just to follow-up on what Chaosdruid said, blogs are also not allowed as external links, per our guideline on external links, except in very rare circumstances that don't apply here. Please don't attempt to add a link to that blog to any more articles on Wikipedia. Thanks. Qwyrxian ( talk) 13:37, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate
external links to Wikipedia, as you did to
Murder 2.
Wikipedia is not a collection 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 guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the
nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. —

Please stop adding inappropriate
external links to Wikipedia, as you did to
Corruption in India. 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 may be
blocked from editing Wikipedia.
