why has my external link derrycityguide.com been removed?
Where did you post this link?--Thw1309 21:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
- Folks are removing that link because they believe it to be an advertising link, which would be a violation of the external link guidelines. If you disagree, you should first carefully read the guidelines, then discuss it with other users on the talk page for that article, seeking a consensus among the folks who are working on that article. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:43, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I posted the link at the top of the external link list. I have read the external link guidelines and although I have google ads on the site its primarily rich in content. The balance of ads versus content is very much in favour of the content. Take a look yourself you will see this is the case. There is no reason why this site shoud be excluded from the external link section.
Being in your place I would post the link to a non commercial part of the website, for excample http://www.derrycityguide.com/photos.aspx. I do not think that someone would mind about this. --Thw1309 06:37, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
