[edit] Your edit to 28 Weeks Later

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in 28 Weeks Later. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 15:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your polite response. I'm not sure if linking to forums is the most appropriate action, because I recall Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources frowning on forums and message boards due to the lack of verifiability. It would be better to cite sources such as newspapers' (and certain websites') interviews with people from the studio, as well as promotionally released production stills. Unauthorized on-set photos would not fit the criteria for making available in an encyclopedic fashion. Hope that makes sense; if you have any further questions, feel free to ask. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 16:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
