Hello! Welcome to my talk page!

Please feel free to to leave me a message, whether it's informing me of something I screwed up, just to say hello, or anything else! I won't WP:BITE!

I have a few requests that I hope you'll respect while posting here:

First and above all, be civil.
- If you don't agree with an action I made—be it reverted you and left a warning, marked your page for deletion, or anything else—please be calm and polite. I am a reasonable man, and we'll straighten it out a lot quicker without screaming and name calling.
Please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)
Please start new conversations at the bottom.
I generally like to keep conversations together.
- If you post here, I'll reply here and leave you a message informing you of my reply.
- If I leave you a message on your talk page, I'll keep watching it, but if you want to make sure I notice it quickly, leave me a {{talkback}} template (although not necessary).
  - I'll admit, I don't always keep conversations together, although I try to. If we separate the messages, no big deal, I'll probably go back and cross post here.

Since that is out of the way, please click here and leave a message!

Link deemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia

Hello Appiarition, I inserted some links the page:- School website i'm unsure how the links were deemed as inappropriate, the blog link:- https://realsmart.co.uk/our-blog/school-website-dfe-ofsted-compliance/ is of the same nature of an existing blog reference on the page:- https://www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk/blog/index.php/2019/09/september-2019-latest-statutory-ofsted-school-website-requirements/ both are by reputable school website providers in the UK and both articles support the OFSTED website requirements statement.

Thanks for pointing those refs out. I removed links to that site, too. Company blogs (or even blogs in general) are not reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Apparition¹¹ ^Talk/Contribs 14:48, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, links 1 & 2 are still linked to that companies website - School website Michael-rsmart (talk) 14:50, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why this link is removed : https://sakanihomes.com/en/blogs/2Sv5uWESROiVCNcnSNfbNu/ethnic-demographics-of-united-arab-emirates-explained Please explain the reason so I can understand how I can improve. Karim-sakani (talk) 09:43, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's a blog, see WP:BLOGS and WP:ELNO #11. You should not add links that you are affiliated with, see WP:PAID and WP:COI. Repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed, see WP:LINKSPAM Apparition¹¹ ^Talk/Contribs 10:50, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
