[edit] External Links

Please don't post link to MALJONICSDREAMS.COM anymore.

There is two reasons for that. Firstly, you can't post your own link according to rules of wiki. Secondly, you site is MFA site.

  • If you are talking to me - 1. I do not own any websites, least of all this one. 2. I didn't link to this site, but don't see why it should not be linked to on this page. 3. What is an MFA site? Jonathanpops 14:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Do you think you cleverest person, that you just put whois privacy? Anyone can go to http://whois.domaintools.com/ and have a look for whois history of your domain.

  • Yes, yes, very good. I've been through this already with other people. My username is Jonathanpops and the owner of that site is called Jonathan, ergo I must be the same person. I've heard it all before. If it was true that I wanted to promote my own site/s I would have used a different name, or perhaps you think I not the cleverest person?

And on top of everything else this is besides the point because even if it was my site I didn't add the link to it in the first place. I have added the link to that site in the past on the Dream page and had the same discussion about me owning it, which got so frustrating that just don't bother adding links to anything any more.

I think the link fits here, it is a link to a dream dictionary on a page about dream dictionaries. I did not add it but I will defend its right to be here and I would be having the same discussion with you if it were the dreammoods site you kept deleting for no reason.Jonathanpops 11:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm not so sure I would defend the DreamsTell! site now that I had a proper look at it though. It is a bit of a half hearted attempt at a dream dictionary with only two entries for some letter.Jonathanpops 11:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Regarding the external links, the rule of thumb is to have dream symbols dictionaries of all kinds. Maljonics, Dreammoods, Dreamstell, are all dream dictionaries and they cannot be deleted unless they do not follow the guidelines set for external links. Instead of discussing the deletion of Maljonics or the other two(or upcoming dictionaries in future), we should protect this article from link spammers. For instance, I have been deleting the "humanform" link, which does not have even one definition of a dream, but it has a google search engine and uses this to display content of other sites to make money. I think we should be careful about these kinds of sites instead of wasting time with a meaningless discussion. By the way, another suggestion is to add more textual sources and if possible create articles for the books that are mentioned in this article. Happy New Year to all! Long live Wikipedia...


Hi Maestroka, you've just answered my question about humanform on the link cleanup bit here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Dream#Link_cleanup - maybe it should be removed from that page too?Jonathanpops

Do the external links really need labels attached? Surely it's pretty obvious what they are without adding extra text, or is that standard wikipedia practice or something?Jonathanpops 15:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of dream symbols

We should include information about the various sources and inspirations for symbols. Some dicts use classical mythos; others refer to religious texts and stories; others still apply astrological knowledge. Some authors argue that these symbols are universal—I believe that symbols are ultimately personal and experiential, but are culturally influenced. How symbols are abstracted depend on how we perceive them in real life, consciously and subconsciously. —Nahum Reduta 03:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
