Hello,

When I added some useful links, those got undone with given reason "SPAM". How come Baseball Cards, Trading Card got chasingmajors, price guides (which have very low DA anyway and no other backlinks than wikipedia itself) under external links and those are not spams now? Just trying to understand, what's the deal here at wikipedia. Abhijeet in (talk) 21:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Abhijeet in. Just because a link is on one page doesn't mean that it's a) supposed to be there or b) allowed on another page. Price guides should not be on Wikipedia anywhere. Anarchyte (talk) 06:54, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anarchyte, I was just relating both the cases. a) These websites are of very low DA (even lower than the ones I submitted) with almost no other backlinks except wikipedia and the replicas. b) If you check with more attention, my referred sites were not "price guides" but "checklists guide", there's a huge difference I believe.

I think I somewhat understand the wikipedia way, it's not about how useful content or source you can contribute, it's more about how old and long profile you have before you try to do so. Abhijeet in (talk) 14:53, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The links have now been removed from the other two pages now. Please see WP:NOTGUIDE. I fail to see how adding or removing links correlates with account age, but I can assure you there is no relation. Anarchyte (talk) 07:10, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The same listing is on Hockey card page as well. Abhijeet in (talk) 23:03, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
