- 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?

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

Public Utility links
I notice that you've started removing the public utility links from pages I've added them to. Please hold off on doing that until we get more feedback from any of the various locations this is being discussed. I understand that you disagree with me regarding the appropriateness of these links, which is why it's important for us to get feedback first. Thanks, --Bill Clark 15:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
