Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Neo soul do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, 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 feel the link was correctly included - it advertised nothing & was a link to a resource on the subject "Neo Soul" & is therefore legitimate in this wikipedia usage. Please cite your exact reason & example's for removal, until then - please respect the legitimate acts input from wikipedia users - thank you (Forgetmeknots (talk) 18:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC))FMN[reply]

Please see my response at the article's talk page. If you disagree with my reading of the guidelines, there are options for dealing with our disagreement, such as asking for a third-opinion or holding a wider request for comment. Them From Space 19:24, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
