[edit] Add a Link?

Does anyone think that we should a link to the following page? [http://earlyhistory.googlepages.com/historyoftheearlyhaybaler History of the Baler] - Please give your reasons as to why or why not! Thanks! West wikipedia

Because it does not cite it's sources, doesn't add anything already in Wikipedia, the site is non-notable i.e. it hasn't been cited as an authority by other reliable sources and it's authors are completely unknown. In fact if I google for earlyhistory googlepages com I get nothing. Please read WP:WEB (under criteria), WP:RS (e.g. Non-scholarly sources) and WP:NOTABLE and ideally please solve this one link first before you start posting to all the other entries you've been trying to make.

[edit] Picture

Is it me or does anyone else find the round baler annoying and distracting. I don't want to move it because it is related to the article, but its jumpy and gives me a headache when trying to read the article, anyone else have simmilar problems?

Somebody might want to film a rould baler with a steadycam and eventually a longer sequence, like 15-20 secs before repeating. Alternatively a still picture and pic-text linkint to a page / article with the baler in action.
Unfortunately there are not that many balers in Copenhagen, and I'm not planning on going to my parents country-side house again the next 4-5 months. Besides I don't have a videocam :-( G®iffen 12:08, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Baling history/usage in another article?

Should baling history and methods perhaps go under another topic heading?

There are a number of existing related topics, where it could fit, such as hay and straw.

I could make a new "baling" article but as the bale disambiguation page shows, many other materials are also baled so there would need to be a way to distinguish this farm-baling topic from other types of baling.
