WP:SPAM

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages 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 exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Misplaced Pages. Thank you. -- Jmax- 00:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages. It is considered spamming, and Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. -- Jmax- 00:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


>>>>>How is this an inappropriate link? Have you even looked at it? It's directly relavant and contains articles and discussions on the topics of the Lord of the Rings, Middle Earth, and Tolkien.

WP:3RR

Please read the article on the three revert rule. - Macduff 02:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

On second thought, I think Jmax's WP:SPAM link is more on target. Specifically this section, which answers your question above. - Macduff 02:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Neverthless, it appears that there is now an edit war going on. It might be a good idea to try to reach a consensus on the discussion page if you hope to get anywhere with it. -- Macduff 21:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
