==Question from my talk page==

I'm not completely sure what you're asking about. I do a lot of editing. Could you tell me which article the change was made to? Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 20:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for answering

You seem to be operating from more than one ISP, so I'm copying my answer here too. See Links normally to be avoided #12 and #13. The relationship between the Wikipedia article about therianthropy (which is nonfiction) and an online novel about therianthropy (which is fiction) is not clear and direct. Furthermore, there are literally hundreds of such online novels. Obviously we can't link to them all, and if it were appropriate to link to a few of them (which it probably isn't) then we'd want to link to a handful of them that had received some critical WP:N and WP:V types of attention (hint: if you want your external link retained, you might want to dig up any media attention or reviews it has received). If you feel that I'm wrong, feel free to raise the issue on the article's talk page to see if anyone else agrees with you. If others agree with you, they could out-vote me (though, you should note Wikipedia is not a democracy and that even if more people agree with you, if they go against Wikipedia policy the external link could still end up getting deleted by other users for policy reasons).
