Overlinking

edit

Please don't add links to Laser-heated pedestal growth to articles where it is not strongly relevant. "See also" links should only be made when the link topic is strongly relevant to the article in which the see also section appears. A link from crystal growth is great. Links from articles like optical fiber, materials science, and optics are not.

Please stop. You are continuing to add links to this article where it is not appropriate. Lithium niobate is the only one of the articles you edited yesterday, to which the link was relevant.--Srleffler (talk) 09:49, 15 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

A year later, and you're back to doing the same thing again. Please do not add links to Laser-heated pedestal growth to articles where it is not relevant. Note that to add the link to an article, laser heated pedestal growth should be strongly relevant to the subject of that article. It is not sufficient for the subject of the linked article to be relevant to laser-heated pedestal growth. Relevance does not necessarily go both ways. Laser-heated pedestal growth is not strongly relevant to optical fibers, for example, nor is it likely to be strongly relevant to a scientific journal or a virtual web community, even if the journal or the community covers that subject sometimes. --Srleffler (talk) 15:16, 21 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. [1] MrOllie (talk) 19:53, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
