[edit] In regards to your article
Please do not post the link you posted again on the Windows Live Messenger article. I deleted it due to the fact that it leads to a website where a program with an illegal function is located. To force access to the live messenger service is illegal, since the beta is still invitation-only. Thanks for your contributions.

[edit] re: LiveConnect v6
Hi. External links are only supposed to be used to External links to point to authorative reference material that supports facts in the article. Please see WP:EL to find what is acceptible in an external link. It clearly says Links that are added to promote a site should be avoided. The link to LC (hope you don't mind the abbrevation) is only advertising the product, and is not about the features of the software (WLM, in this case) being discussed in the article. Also see Wikipedia:Notability (software), it says Creating an article about software you have personally developed is strongly discouraged but not forbidden. It is indeed easy for an author to overestimate the notability of their work. I also feel the same way - if the software you are talking about is indeed notable, one day it will get an entire article for itself, and it does not need to get overwhelmed in a collection of external links. I wish you and LC all the best for that day; but, till then, I am against inclusion in WLM article, since it is doing nothing but advertising itself by exploiting the fact that it is an add-on to WLM and thereby linking itself with WLM. --soUmyaSch 10:36, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
- I am not removing the link this time (I don't like revert warring) but I will point it out (as also Msgr Plus) on the article's talk page. --soUmyaSch 10:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your links.
Please do not add unoffical addon links to the WLM article again, They are unoffical and also violate wlm's terms thus do not belong there.--Matthew Fenton (t) 10:54, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay then, Why not use WLM's offical plugin capabilities? Either way its an unoffical addon therefore does not belong in the article.--Matthew Fenton (t) 13:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
