-According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam Wikipedia] there are three types of '''''wikispam''''': "advertisements masquerading as articles, wide-scale external link [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28electronic%29 spamming], and '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Canvassing canvassing]' (also known as 'internal spamming' and 'cross-posting')."  While it is hoped that this type of behavior will not occur here at Elanthipedia, it is possible that we may see some cases of it.
-Moderate external linking is acceptable.  Examples can be a one time link to a personal page on a user page, or request to add a link to our list at the [[Elanthipedia:External Links|External Links page]] by posting on the [[Elanthipedia talk:External Links|discussion page]].
-Advertising by commercial sites will not be tolerated.  The offending articles/content will be removed and the user will be banned.
-Excessive linking and cross-posting will result in a rollback removing the offending edits and a warning on the user's talk page.  If the incident occurs again, the user will be banned from editing privileges.
-'''Note:'''  Links as references in articles is not against our policy.
