Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Most Precious Blood (band) 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 do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Theory of a Deadman. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. 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. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

most precious blood/theory of a deadman
dirk.... okay... so, i'm very new to this wikipedia thing. as a journalist, wikipedia is my first source of information when i am researching a subject/band that i am interviewing... so, as a courtesy, i was returning the favor and posting links to articles on my site so others may have the same availability to information and outside sources. i'm not doing it for promotion. (believe me, i'm already well-known as a journalist, as is my site.) i don't have a staff or assistants or interns or even children to help me with postings, so therefore, I do these things myself. In fact, I am the entire office staff of crushermagazine.com so tell me, do you not consider these links viable external information if they are interviews with and/or are relevant to the subject within the last two years? please advise. editatrix
