Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Colonoscopy, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

{{helpme}} According to Wikipedia external links policy sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews can be linked as an external link for a Wikipedia Entry. The external link I suggested for Colonoscopyis a legitimate review of the colonoscopy medical intervention by Shehnaz Shaikh, MD.

Unfortunately, external links should be used very sparingly, when they can't be worked into the article itself. Otherwise, it just seems like spamming for advertising purposes. Perhaps you should try to bring this up on the Colonoscopy talk page? NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 19:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Old age. 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. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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. ---CliffC (talk) 23:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
