Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Andritsaina 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. I am referring to the resort links which are not reference material but more an advertisement for some kind of resort... Intinn^Talk! 14:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Kalo Nero. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 policy for further explanations. 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. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Creating mini-articles to wrap your link in is also considered spam. Linking to a resort is *NOT* a reference. Intinn^Talk! 14:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate images to Wikipedia, as you did to Image:Sunsetfire in Kalo Nero.jpg, as it's considered to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. The picture contained spam for the aforementioned resort.Intinn^Talk! 14:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
