Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to West Town, Chicago with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate may 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 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 article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 19:41, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DVDm, please note my responce below on my talk page, thank you.

Adding link to West Town and Ukrainian Village, Chicago

I am trying to add a link about a neighborhood group, but its keeps getting denied. To verify the importance of this group, there are combined over 1200 neighbors involved who work together to promote community safety and community building. There should be a link on both pages because areas that we cover are referred to neighbors as both areas of Ukrainian Village and West Town. To also verify the impact, here is an NBC story on us--> http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/unit-5-community-neighborhood-watch-social-media-147237945.html Please allow for this link to be added -- > * Ukrainian Village Neighborhood Watch

This is not an attempt at promotion for promotions sake, this is a helpful group that no one makes a penny from. It is community building, volunteer based, and should be included as a resource in the communities it works with. Sorry for not being aware of how to edit this page, i am a simple human who barely understands what HTML is.
