User talk:THe dog trainer

Hi, welcome and thanks for editing Wikipedia. I'm sorry to say, I reverted your dog training external links from various dog breed article article. The sort of external link provided is not apropriate for wikipedia, since wikipedia is not a link farm, a method of link exchange to generate higher google search results. or a vehicle for promotion of products websites. You can read the article on External links for a list of what is apropriate to put in the external links section of an article. Simply having useful information alone doesn't make a site merit an external link.

The text added in individual training sections isn't specific to to the individual breeds of dog in question, so I removed those as well. That is useful information, it's just not the right place for it.

I hope that this does not discourage you from contributing.

You could consider looking at the Dog training article, and maybe putting some of your information there.

You may wish to review the welcome page, tutorial, and stylebook, as well as the avoiding common mistakes and Wikipedia is not pages. The Wikipedia directory is also quite useful. In addition, you might want to add yourself to the new user log;

By the way, an important tip: To sign comments on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This automatically adds your name and the time after your comments.

I just wanted to add a note that your dog-training tips indeed look useful and I hope you do investigate starting at Category:Dogs and go through the category tree to find articles where your pages are appropriate (as in the dog whistle article, which I just put back). If we linked to every possible dog-related web site on every dog-related article here, there'd be thousands of links in every article and it would be hard to find the ones that were really specifically related to the topic of the article. You'll get the hang of it, I'm sure. Also continuing discussion on User talk:Trysha. Elf | Talk 18:54, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
