Can we keep the external link in for the IT Ivanovo Community web site please. It's the first of it's kind here and represents all the IT companies in the region (non-commercial site)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.49.234.66 (talk • contribs) .

Sorry, but no. The purpose of the "external links" section is to supply readers with links which are directly concerning the subject. They should better illustrate the theme or, perhaps, expand it or provide further information. Ivanovo IT Community website is none of these things. It is loosely related, but so would be a link to any forum where the residents of Ivanovo discuss their mutual interests. If you are willing to write an article on Information technology industry in Ivanovo (see Wikipedia:Article development for pointers on how to best do that), the link could probably go there.

Please take a look at Wikipedia's external links guideline to see what kind of links the "external links" section should normally contain. Meanwhile, I'll be removing the link for the time being.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok that sounds fair, I'll read the guidelines and try and write an article on the subject
