Talk:Automatic meter reading
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Any external links added should be added to the end of the list or sorted in some logical manner (Further discussion - Alphabetically, by type?). Adding links to the top of the list is generally considered link spamming (See wikipedia guidelines) and may cause them to end up on the bottom of the list or be removed. Additionally, descriptions should be factual, not promotional messages.
Before adding a link, please read this section, noting the "How not to be a spammer" section at this link Spam#External_link_spamming
Also, adding content to the article would help show you are not link spamming, but wish to contribute usefulness to the article.

There seem to be a lot of external links added to the page being added without any useful contributions added to the actual article content. I open for discussion that instead of this article becoming a link farm, that links be limited to exclude general external links to commercial sites. The main link to the AMRA trade associtaion will have information on most companies in the industry. I propose that only links to unbiased artilcles or useful information be permitted. Links to home pages or sales related information should be eliminated. Any discussion on this suggestion? Utilitysupplies 22:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, no discussion or suggestions on links, so I'm deleting all external links that are not non-profit or not strictly informational. Utilitysupplies 02:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
