Talk:Bridal shower

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] External links

I'd like to see the ebridalshower.com link deleted because, regardless of who puts it up, it still fails the external link guidelines. It's a commercial site, not a particularly reliable source, very POV. It also doesn't really add anything to the article. --SiobhanHansa 21:25, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Since no one has responded defending the link I'm going to remove it again. If you'd like to see it back, please post how it adds encylopedic value to the article. Thanks -Siobhan Hansa 16:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. The site ebridalshower.com expands in detail the main purpose and function of a bridal shower. The site offers free information written by a reputable Bridal Shower consultant and does not sell any products. Therefore, the only “commercial” occurrence is the top-level domain name. - MelanieD 29 September 2006

How do you know the author is a reputable consultant? And how can a bridal shower consultant be expected to provide NPOV information, especially in a non-reviewed context like a self published website? Although the site does not sell goods, it is a commercial site. This in itself is not a good reason for getting rid of the link if it provides encyclopedic information. But since it's not a reliable, or even authoritative, source, I don't see how it does that. Finally I notice that the site's author and presumably the recipient of the revenue from those google ads is Melanie Doetsch. That wouldn't happen to be you would it, MelanieD? --Siobhan Hansa
