Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. See the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. Pavel Vozenilek 23:36, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
Dear Pavel Vozenilek,
I would strongly suggest you to look at the link before calling it a SPAM. If you would have done it you would realise that they link to NON-COMMERCIAL web site which contains ARTICLES about the PROBLEMS IN CONTEXT (e.g. Advice on thesis writing), therefore Wiki readers would, if fact, benefit from reading these materials. Moreover, I have received WRITTEN PERMISSIONS from the AUTHORS of these articles to reprint them, therefore according to the rules of Wikipedia this material CAN NOT be published on Wikidepia as they are not PUBLIC DOMAIN RESOURCES. This is why I provided links for them.
By deleting these links you have closed opportunities for many people to find the information they need. Is that the purpose of Wikipedia?
And just to remind you once again: This is a non-commercial web site - I do not sell anything and neither I display advertising - I work to help people and I seriously do not like when someone calls it a SPAM.
Kind Regards Liya Wells
- Perhaps you may improve the mentioned articles instead of putting links to other websites. Pavel Vozenilek 16:23, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
It may sound like an excellent idea for you, but for me, being an Academic, it is important to give readers wide variety of options to refer to. You may also learn from this concept: your opinion, whatever it is, is not always correct in a given situation.
Moreover, as you did not have anything to reply, I insist that remove your comment regarding myself from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress
