  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Lotteries in Australia. 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 (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), 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. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 10:51, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello Apparition,sorry for my mistake. The link should be included as the main article is also about Oz Lotto. Faithlyne (talk) 11:00, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, if Oz Lotteries had an article, it would be the official link for that article and should be included in that article. However, with more general topics, we shouldn't include external links to companies/brands/etc. as we are not a link directory. Apparition11 Complaints/Mistakes 11:08, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Kimani Ichung'wah moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Kimani Ichung'wah, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
