Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Eamon Ryan. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Disagree

The links are not inappropriate. They point to a non-commercial pro bono publico website designed to help people see the voting records of their representatives. Please see wikipedia profiles of British MPs where links to the sister site, theyworkforyou.com, are allowed. 18:50, June 4, 2009 (UTC)

Inappropriate?

This does not qualify as spam. The site is a non-partisan not for profit website modelled on the British version, theyworkforyou.com. Please see MP profiles for the UK for similar links to the profile of MPs (for example Tom Watson (politician). I do not profit from these links, nor indeed does anyone, besides users of wikipedia who can see the voting record of their representatives. Indeed the information on KildareStreet is far better than much of the information among the other external links. 19:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
