June 2007[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Refinancing do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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, then 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. Versageek 19:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:31, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Firearms Link and the AR-15 article[edit]

Its not that world.guns.ru is free of advertising or the link you're adding has it. The stated aim of the link you posted is advertising. The information it provides has been liberally lifted from manufacturer websites, unlike world.guns.ru which is original content put on the web by a published author. There is a difference, and its not arbitrary or ill defined. I'm not sure I would've deleted the link you added myself, but deleting world.guns.ru based on the fact that it, like most websites, uses advertising to support itself seems like an incorrect interpretation of why the link you added was deleted. -- Thatguy96 (talk) 05:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, it's nothing personal or anything to do with your website, I'm just trying to follow Wiki policy. I have added links too that have been removed because they are commercial, even though they were quite useful. Having ads on a website is different to a website that is designed to sell products. World Guns features ads to other websites to help fund their own website and keep it on the net (similar to many others). Your website is mainly intended to sell firearms with facts to complement them. Thanks. Hayden120 (talk) 06:37, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August 2014[edit]

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Stevie Ray Vaughn, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 18:06, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is citing Jim Hamilton, maker of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Main" guitar, from a personal conversation, considered a "source"? Is the author of several books on Stevie Ray Vaughan a reliable source? These are the two of the sources for the changes I made.
