[edit] Regarding edits to Ilkley

Hi I just wondered if anyone out there has seen my message, you seem to be quick enough to take off my link, however not so quick to reply to my apology and respond as to why other sites the same as mine are allowed on here as a link?

I would appreciate it if you could come back to me as I do not want to pursue anything that is not allowed?

Look forward to hearing from you today

Kind Regards

Heather Fletcher


Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, 86.138.224.46! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule aboutmyarea\.co\.uk, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Dear Shadowbot?

Sorry you will have to excuse the introduction as I am not at all familar with this system. I have been speaking to Mr David Gerard for assistance in this matter as I did not understand why you had taken my details off, he has suggested I leave an entry on the discussion page, I hope I have done this correct.

My name is Heather Fletcher and I am the site editor of a new community website AboutMyArea.co.uk/LS29 - we are a national franchise group - our moto is for the community by the community - the idea of this website is for it to hold all types of usual information where the community LS29 can go to as a one stop shop and find out all sorts of information, places to go, whats happening where and when etc.

Perhaps we have done this incorrectly only I was informed by our head office so assumed it was ok to add our link, however as you have said it has been taken off due to it being recognised as a spam - I would appreciate it if you could find your way clear to add our details on your site as this can only assist people and it does not in anyway involve spamming, we do not contact or put information on our site without the owners consent, unlike some other sites you already have links to!

Feel free to call me to discuss this further, my website is www.aboutmyarea.co.uk/LS29 if you wish to look around.
