Links to commercial sites
(From User_talk:Bill Clark)
You will find a primary guideline to review at Misplaced Pages:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided. Spamreporter1 12:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think I've violated that guideline, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I only added external links in a few cases (and not in the example cited here), and those were to community websites (not commercial) for those cities. In most of the cases, I simply added a wikilink in the "Economy/Public utilities" section indicating that Northland was the cable provider for that city, and/or a reference/citation for that fact.
- Since my intention was to do the same for a large number of other cable companies, I'd like to get this cleared up before I proceed further. Is the problem with the wikilinks in the "Economy/Public utilities" section, the few external links, the citations, or something else? I'll be happy to change my plans, but need to have a clear idea of what's expected. Is there a better (more inclusive) place to discuss this, where I might get more input?
- Thanks, --Bill Clark 14:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
NOTE: Please see the main discussion at VP/A and post any follow-ups there. --Bill Clark 19:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
RE:WikiProject bot pop
No, I am not trying to populate the WikiProjects with bots, I am trying to get bots to put the WikiProject's template on article talk pages. - Patricknoddy (talk · contribs) 1:33pm, February 4, 2007
