Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. 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. Thanks. --Drat (Talk) 07:46, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed your link because the site is, by your own admittance, new, and you also added it to the top of the list to ensure it was seen first. Please review the external links guide, particularly the section I have linked. Also see the How not to be a spammer section of the spam guideline. The other sites provide information, and have also been around for a lot longer. The Unofficial Trapdoor Page! for example, has been around since at least 1999, judging by its guestbook entries. I doubt its owner added the link to the site on the page.--Drat (Talk) 11:52, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your website being non-commercial, please read the entirety of the first sentence of my first message (which is generated from a standard warning template).--Drat (Talk) 12:18, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Further information pending. In the meantime, you do not need to replace your old messages with new ones. Simply start new ones underneath. That makes it easier for anyone else reading to see what precisely is going on. Alternatively, add to a previous message if it's not long since your previous message, and it hasn't been replied to yet. This is not a concrete rule, but makes things easier to manage.--Drat (Talk) 12:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Re-other websites, I have good reason to doubt they were added by the owners. Like I said, one has been around for at least seven years. Judging by the edit history of the user who added it, I don't think it is the owner.--Drat (Talk) 12:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Seperate note about site

You might want to be careful with statements like "Everything contained on this website must not be taken unless permission has been given.". You can't control what others do with content you don't own, such as any images or audio taken from the show. You only hold copyright on that that which you've created yourself. By the way, there is a typo on the first entry in the sound page.--Drat (Talk) 12:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
