Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. The links you added to the page Cigarette have been removed. Please do not add commercial links—or links to your own private websites—to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 15:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello - I removed the link you mention primarily because it was added "bare" - in other words, just the plain link was added, and it does not serve as a citation for any of the text in the article itself. Wikipedia is in need of more content, not more external links.

If you truly feel that your link is more helpful then other existing external links, bring it up on the article's talk page first, and allow other editors of the article to determine the value of the link. Also, please review WP:SPAM#How_not_to_be_a_spammer and let me know if you have any further concerns or questions. Thanks --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 12:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure go ahead. Thanks for taking the time to follow that process. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 12:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
