[edit] removal of external link

Define what makes it extraneous or spam. I didn't put the link on, but I do watch the article. Your welcome is unnecessary, I've been here two years. Chris 05:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

It was a standard template - no offense. I deleted the link because it didn't meet the external link guidelines - the description even said it was an unofficial site. RJASE1 Talk 05:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Point me to the "external link guidelines"-this site does not advertise anything, it is the recollections of an attendee. Chris 05:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
The criteria I'm thinking of are here, numbers 1 and 3. RJASE1 Talk 05:50, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Reading that site, as I assume you have done, I find it does provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article (point 1), a personal view that is not encyclopedic in itself, but a worthwhile read for someone wanting to dig deeper; and is _not_ mainly intended to promote a website (point 3), it just says "here's another view if you're interested." I am replacing the link as both guidelines are satisfied, and copying this dialogue to the article's talkpage to explain why I am doing so. Chris 06:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The external link being discussed is one on my personal website. I wrote that section based on my recollections from attending the Jamboree, and from the souviners that I had brought back with me years ago from Japan.

The ads are a function of the ISP which provide the website, and I don't get a cent from any of it. Except for the free webspace for the html pages and jpg images which I scanned. Bwmoll3 02:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
