Hello Morim - welcome to wikipedia. Please note that wikipedia does have a policy on external links. There are simply too many websites in the world on any given topic to link to them all, and wikipedia does not want to become a link directory, so we try to restrict links to only sites which are uniquely relevant to the wikipedia page in question. --Bachrach44 (talk) 13:41, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Bachrach44. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Yom Kippur, because to me it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. This is your second warning. Please stop spamming. Bachrach44 (talk) 18:41, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

external links and legal threats
Hello Morim Madrichim -
I see you're new to wikipedia, so allow me to welcome you. I am actually a big fan of the JDC and their work around the world. You have been adding links to your website, and yes, I have been removing them. Misplaced Pages has some guidelines on external links which you may want to look over. The bottom line is that an external link needs to add substantive information to the subject covered in the wikipedia article which is not included in the wikipedia article. Although there are pages on your website which are related to the various Jewish holidays, simply being related is not enough. There are, quite literally, millions of pages related to Yom Kippur on the internet. Misplaced Pages is not in the business of being a giant link directory. If you would like to submit to a link directory, I personally recommend http://www.dmoz.org. Misplaced Pages is also not in here for people to use for promotional purposes. You have some great articles on your website, but this isn't the place to advertise. In fact, repeatedly adding external links to a website for the purposes of promotion is considered spam and is not allowed.
Lastly, you should know the wikipedia also has a policy on legal threats. In short, legal threats on wikipedia pages are not allowed. If you make legal threats, or pursue legal action, you will be blocked from editing. Legal threats are also reported, and I am obligated to inform you that I have reported your threat to the administrator's noticeboard. I would like to reiterate a point I made there though, which is that I'm sure this issue can be resolved reasonably. Many people who are new to editing wikipedia are unaware of the policies that are in place that have helped create the structure that keeps wikipedia a useful resource. I hope I have been able to fill you in on some of the finer points of how wikipedia works. --Bachrach44 (talk) 22:27, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
