Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Subaru Impreza WRX do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then 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. RJASE1 Talk 05:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I just read through the guidelines for the links and I fail to see how they don't fit in there. I'm not trying to make wikipedia a directory of links, but I do think that it should remain a valuable resource for those wishing to read about a particular subject matter and then also have outside links that are related. I do not wish to promote a bunch of websites with a knowledge base such as this site either. I did already mention it on the article's talk page though so I think we should roll with the concensus.JiveMasterT 14:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
