[edit] Visit Exmoor spam links

You stand by the assertion that these sites are not commercially run, despite the opinion of other Wiki editors. If you want people to see them then you should get them added to the DMOZ directory for Exmoor - see the DMOZ link in the main Exmoor article. --Cheesy Mike 06:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "The web sites added are local governement inspired tourism web sites, without commercial content. Whilst I agree that you do not want too many lists, but wik. is about INFORMATION and the sites have been volunteer crested to provide as much information on the exmoor area as possible. They themselves are link pages. The insertion here is NOT for search engines - we are already there! Just to help people understand and visit the Exmoor area. The visit-exmoor.eu site is simple and run by the Exmoor Coast and Country committee and the visit-exmoor.info has just been handed to the local marketing board (which I help set up) and MAY go commercial as well. I can be contacted at exmoor@watchet.net or information@visit-exmmoor.info. Finally, my business is web hosting, but the site is provided fre of charge to the Exmoor community. rgds John Richards"


Decline reason: "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia written by neutral editors. It is not a place for people to post links to their own websites. Please do not spam here."
