| Joie de Vivre - Wow! The Fertility Center links page goes to a couple Katholic sites - so Papist, fish eating Katholics shouldn't post on Wiki? Maybe you would ban Koons because you don't want them to reproduce, and Kykes because they are circumcised. Then you would have a KKK Wiki. | |||
Revision as of 21:58, 16 April 2007
 | Fertility awareness received a peer review by Misplaced Pages editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article. |
External links - Software
Aware belongs to a nonprofit. I don't own it. Who deleted the link and are they associated with competing software? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.65.61 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why it was deleted. Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links, and link categories that potentially include large numbers of sites are discouraged. But software that tracks fertility signs seems sufficiently rare that I do not have a problem with including it. Lyrl C 22:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
An anonymous editor has been adding a link that deals with NFP, not FA. Also, the link is to a product page where you are asked to purchase something. I feel strongly that this link is not only OFF TOPIC here, but also being pushed to promote a commercial venture. The link clearly doesn't help a researcher learn more about the topic in a GFDL manner. I believe that it fails WP:EL and should be removed. I have asked the anon to come here and comment. I hope that the edit warring will stop until this dispute is resolved. I also hope that the anon comes here to justify the changes (I have asked on the anon's talk page). However, the recent edits have been to blank other links while adding this new controversial link. If no discussion comes from this, I will start to assume that this is nothing but a linkspammer. -Andrew c 03:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Andrew, why don't you read the discussion just above yours. This was discussed and resolved. If you are the person responsible for deleting links I will have you blocked.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.84.156.180 (talk • contribs) 11:34, 15 April 2007.
- Please sign your talk page comments. Next, I see nothing in your post, or the conversation above that addresses a SINGLE ONE of my concerns. Please do a better job of explaining your justification for inclusion, citing which policy points at WP:EL your link meets. It has to do with NFP, not FA, which is a different topic. It doesn't help the user understand FA any more, and it is simply a glorified product purchase page. The link clearly isn't encyclopedic. Please refrain from editing the article further until this issue is cleared up. You can't force disputed content into an article. Thanks for your consideration.-Andrew c 15:39, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Andrew c requested my input here. I have viewed the Aware! site, and I agree with Andrew c's assessment that it is commercial, fails WP:EL and should be excluded. While there are indeed links from this site to "Marian apparitions", the "Shroud of Turin" and The Vatican (which are clearly related to the Catholic religion and thus the rationale of NFP), the fact that it is off the topic of FA is secondary to its failure of the EL guideline. I support the removal of the Aware! link from this article, from Natural family planning if it turns up there, and anywhere else it appears. Please consider reading the guideline, it explains much more thoroughly than I have. Joie de Vivre 16:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Link to Aware provides no additional information (except perhaps that such software exists). There is a shopping cart link on the page linked. I would definitely remove the link, though I will not because I do not wish to be in conflict of interest (having recently become acquainted with and impressed in general by User:Joie de Vivre). However, it's my firm belief that the link is advertising/spam.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MalcolmGin (talk • contribs) 13:00, 15 April 2007.
