Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Number sign. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website 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 page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Alexf^(talk) 17:05, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Obviously, the message above it a false alarm. The edit [1] did not add any external links, and it is the only Adewopo’s edit in the Number sign article. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:16, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

P.S. you may reinstate your edit, but it would be better to refer to a WP:reliable source. Blogs and social networks themselves are not. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

After a discussion it became apparent that your edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Number_sign&diff=561361474 created a WP:conflict of interest (which is discouraged), and probably constituted an WP:original research (which is forbidden), as social network pages are not a reliable source in our definition. The problem with external links is secondary. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 05:37, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
