[edit] Vandalism

Recently there have been many attempts to remove links relating to Shaftesbury's web site ShaftesburyTown.co.uk this website is completely non-commercial and non-profit and free to all members of the town. It also is the only full online copy of the towns tourism guides, where to stay and where to eat, the chamber of commerces directory and the minutes and agendas of the council.

Please would commercial sites refrain from 'raping' wikipeida with spam links and if that is not enough then going on to damage long standing legitimate links calling them 'expired' or spam them selfs when they are clearly not.

This user has been spamming Dorset related articles for over a year with off-topic links to Shaftesburytown.co.uk. I will request the sites addition to the spam filter if it doesn't stop. Joe D (t) 17:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Steinsky is being very pathetic, the dorset page has nothing to do with me (check history of that page!) and shaftesburytown.co.uk is and remains the only non-commerial website dedicated to shaftesbury and its area, as a responisble citizen of this town I will continue to support the work done by shaftesburytown.co.uk since the other 2 sites are either commericaly owned and wasting tax payers money that was given out with out due process or owned by a company that is still under investegation for not completing a contract(if there ever was one) to do a town website for the council.

This site will continue to be linked from wikipedia since its the only one that fully complys with the rules. The user steinsky has been reported to moderators for his actions. --Shaftesbury 17:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
