Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. --VVikingTalkEdits 13:28, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.--VVikingTalkEdits 13:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I've checked out a few dozen of these pages on Sealife Collection that you've been linking to and they largely don't see to be very useful. Rather than linking to an external website, can you instead add some photos to the articles directly from Wikimedia Commons? —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 01:40, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Dear Atsme, I cannot add images to Commons because these images are not mine, but belong to the different people contributing to this website. The website I'm linking to, is a living website wehre its users post images and videos of marine wildlife in its environment. It does content not only photos but also other interesting information such as time and place of the sighting, some articles in this website also have information about the species and how to distingish it from similar ones (see https://sealifecollection.org/taxon/140605/octopus_vulgaris). Descriptions have been habilitated lately so I think they will grow in the next few months, as they are also done by users. From my point of view this information could be of a great interest to many wikipedia users that would like to know a bit more about the species (last sight, where to be found, etc.).
Hi, PauBatllleV - the problem appears to be your mass addition of templates such as the following:
It's wonderful that you have a large collection of u/w images, but so do hundreds of others on the internet. WP cannot possibly include links to all of them. The procedures here are much more structured than that with the goal being to provide free knowledge about all things. We provide images to accompany our articles when available and freely licensed (with rare exception). WP is not a social media site wherein we share links with or for others. As I explained above, you are welcome to upload your images to Commons, as are the other photogs on the linked site you provided. Happy editing! Atsme Talk 📧 22:57, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
So... seems to be ok with everyone to link only to those pages that have a significant amount of verified information (not only photos). If other editors agree I will be back with some links once they meet what we consider "the appropiate requirements" to fit in a wikipedia article. Adding the link vautomatically via Wikidata would be a nice option I think, but to do this the page has to grow big enough. In any case, thank you all for your comments, which I think will improve my contributions and my vision about wikipedia.

Request reason:
It seems that I'm suspect to be using a bot, but I'm editing different articles manually...
Accept reason:
I went ahead and unblocked under Primefac's conditions. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:02, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Dear administrator, I'm no tusing any bot to add the links, I'm doing it manually... so would be nice to continue adding content to some articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PauBatlleV (talk • contribs) 20:51, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

", so I just have to make sure I put the link in the proper site of the article. Usually I spent between 10 min and 1 hour, because is almost unhuman to do it for longer. I hope this explains your concerns — Preceding unsigned comment added by PauBatlleV (talk • contribs) 21:24, 14 July 2019 (UTC) commenting out template to see code.

I will discuss with whoever is willing to, thank you.
