Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in Bangor, County Down. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Demiurge 15:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your self-appointed concern. The link was neither commercial nor anything to do with myself. It is a website specifically set up for people of the town in the article to discuss, through the forums, issues which affect everyone who lives there. It is no more nor less relevent to the article than the link to the official council website, which actually is more commercial than the one you removed.
If you do not live in Bangor then I would suggest that you butt out of things which do not concern you and if you do I can only assume that you live in a bush in the park if you have not realised that a great deal is being discussed in the linked website which many people feel is important.
The link has been reinstated and I can assure you that I care not a jot for your childish "first-level warning". 86.142.205.43 16:11, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
