Charitable activities are no different than any other promotion[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.Flowanda | Talk 20:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August 2008[edit]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Kraft Foods. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Samuell Lift me up or put me down 18:07, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adding content and links to articles[edit]

I'm not trying to harass you or keep your links off Wikipedia, but it would be helpful if you reviewed the Wikipedia policy and guidelines included in your welcome message above, especially those related to WP:RS, WP:EL and WP:SPAM. There are no special provisions for non profits or organizations with good causes, and your edits seem to be more about promoting one specific chapter over the main organization (or even other English-speaking chapters). I have corrected/added links to U.S. site pages (Sarah Ferguson and Johnny Cash, for example) where appropriate, but sourcing U.S.-centri claims to a press release, a main page, or a list of donors is not notable or verifiable.
