[edit] Re: Wikidweb
In response to your comments on my talk page.
- Wikipedia's spam policy is pretty straightforward on not having external links unless they're absolutely justified. If/when Wikidweb has a Wikipedia article, an internal link would be the most appropriate way to link to it from other Wikipedia articles.
- My "spammy" comment is based on a perusal of wikidweb a couple of weeks ago when I first encountered it. http://wikidweb.com/wiki/Category:Men%27s_Health for instance, is full of spammy sites. Of course, "spam" has been co-opted by many online communities and means different things to different people. So, for you, it might be just what you're looking for.
- As a dmoz editor, like most of my fellow editors, I try very hard to be objective when it comes to assessing web sites. We also don't mind a little competition and none of us who have been with the directory for any length of time would ever say that dmoz is perfect. But, it's the surfers we care about, not the web site owners. A lot of "perceived shortcomings" are a misunderstanding of dmoz's mission.
So, anyway, best of luck to you. --Wrathchild (talk) 15:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

You failed to mention that you are also an ODP editor. —Wrathchild (talk) 16:31, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
