Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the
external links you added do not comply with our
guidelines for external links and have been removed.
Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for
advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses
nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, 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. Thank you.

I noticed your contributions and your comments at User talk:Ckatz so I will attempt a brief explanation. How you format external links is not relevant to the fact that many of those you added have been reverted, however, as far as the formatting is concerned, simple is good, and entries with more links and promotional wording are more likely to be removed. Wikipedia has a high web presence, and anyone can edit. The result is that hundreds of people add promotional links every day, and regular editors here cannot spend much time evaluating each link and pondering whether to keep it. If external links were not actively opposed, every article would have dozens of dubious links added purely to promote some external entity. I can see from how you have phrased your comments on a couple of talk pages that you are a conscientious and competent new editor, but so far it appears that all your work has been focused on Total Film or on adding links to the website for that organization in other articles. A lot of single purpose accounts edit here and it is not always easy to judge whether their work helps Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a repository of links (see WP:NOTDIR), and I will remove some of the links you have added at Total Film because it is not our role to provide handy links to each part of a website (our link to an official website should be to the home page, and that should provide links to relevant areas; Wikipedia does not attempt to compensate for an official website that fails to provide such links).

Hello. I noticed that you had added the {{ hang on}} template to Total Film a few times. Another user removed it because that template is only used to save articles from speedy deletion. BurtAlert ( talk) 00:29, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Fostering Through Social Enterprise, a page you created has not been edited in at least 180 days. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace. If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements. If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13. Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot ( talk) 18:38, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
