Hi Jreferee,
I hope this is the correct place to respond.
I am sorry, but I could not find out WHERE or HOW to post anything on the I SPY Talk page as you suggested ... it just kept referring me to the Wikiproject Television project.
Here is a copy of my HELP request ... and your reply. Can you copy this onto the I SPY Talk Page. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you, Tatia Loring

Please help us ... !!!! Our website has been listed as an "external link" on Wikipedia since I believe 2005 for both the "I SPY" (TV Show category) and on the "ROBERT CULP" pages.
I SPY Forum - http://www.network54.com/Forum/172251/ (I Spy Forum - TV (Robert Culp, Bill Cosby)
Our Forum is the premiere site for all relevant and current news and discussion topics relating to the subject of the 60s TV Show "I SPY." Our site has been active daily for the past 8 years. We have been consultants on the new "I SPY" Book and on the "I SPY" CD and a particpant in SPYFEST. We are NOT a typical message board, but the active participant in keeping the spirit of "I SPY" alive. We are in touch with production staff, writers, etc. from the show.
Our site (as an "external link" was deleted the other day on both pages - I thought this was done in error and re-added our site, to find that it is gone again today.
PLEASE check our site!!! Please do not dismiss the valuable and relevant content we offer because the word FORUM is in our title. We should be included on Wikipedia, as we are the most current and actively contributing site for information on "I SPY" available out there - and it's a disservice to your readers, if we are not included on these two pages. We've been a part of these Wikipedia pages for so long, please help us get re-instated.

Hi Tatia. ST47 deleted the link. I asked ST47 to provide some detail of his/her actions on the I Spy talk page. Please provide your request on the I Spy talk page as well since that is where such a discussion would best take place. If you need further assistance, please contact me on my talk page -- Jreferee 07:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello AGAIN Jreferee,
I hope this is the right place to respond (I am finding this difficult as to where to respond on which page) ... ST47 sent me a note about not using FORUMs because the information may not be accurate. He did NOT read why our Forum is not a message board - and how we have for the past 8 years been the source for providing current and relevant information about this 60s TV show (and we have been linked on Wikipedia since 2005).
I sent this note in return - we would appreciate ANY help you could provide us!!! Thanks. Tatia Loring .... Here is my response to ST47
Thanks for your response ST47, but please re-read the following. Our I SPY FORUM is NOT a casual message board. We are the main source for all current news about this 60s show. We have been around for 8 years, and have served as consultants on the new I SPY Book and on the I SPY CD. We are in touch with many of the production staff of the program. AND we HAVE BEEN linked to this Wikipedia page (and the one for ROBERT CULP) since 2005!!
IF Wikipedia's purpose is to help disseminate infomation about a topic, then our site should definitely be included for current and relevant information on "I SPY" ....
Thank you and your help is appreciated!! Tatia Loring ...... Original message ...

Hi Jreferee,
Tatia here again regarding the I SPY FORUM ... I really need your assistance, here.
ST47 left this message for me on his talk page ...
"It's a discussion site, where people talk to other people about stuff. It had been spammed, so it's automatically removed now, and it's against policy, so all the links were removed. You should discuss the link with other editors, and then add it, if there is a consensus to do so. ST47Talk 19:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)"
I have no idea what he is talking about ... We have NOT been spammed, I am the webmaster and visit the site several times daily - and Network54 has lots of spam guards in place. And what does he mean - you should discuss the link with other editors" - who is he referring to - what editors?? I can barely find the right place to post messages here ... and do not even know if this is the correct place to contact you ....))
As I had written to ST47 ..

.......
It is very unfair to be lumped into a group and brushed aside, when we are the one site that provides current and relevant information regarding this topic. What do we need to do to get re-instated ... should I just add our link back in .....??
Thanks, Tatia

RE: Hi Tatia. Per ST47's comment here, I set up a proposal to added the I Spy Forum link to the I Spy article here. -- Jreferee 21:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you so much Jreferee for your assistance!! Please let me know how to proceed. (I saw the comment from the abstaining editor that there may be another site out there - there isn't. We have been the resource site for I SPY for the past 8 years.) Our format allows us he flexibility to provide current information and is updated all the time. The author of the new I SPY Book is going to be inteviewed on a radio program this week-end. He wanted to give the I SPY Wikipedia page as the reference place to find a link to the FORUM, for anyone who wanted current information on I SPY. Is there any chance that our link could be up before the week-end? Also, will we be re-instated on the "Robert Culp" page also?
Thank you again for all your help - manuvering around the back halls of Wikipedia can be quite daunting! Most sincerely, Tatia
