Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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.

[edit] Inappropriate Link

You wrote: "I understand that you think that some links i've provided recently are inappropriate? Could you please be more specific? I invite you to explore each and every one that I've provided, most are found under ophthalmology related topics. The ADVISOR Project is affiliated with 13 agencies in the Northeast including Children's Hospital Boston, The Perkins School for the Blind, The National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments, The New England Center Deafblind Project and many others. The site is a collaboration of these institutions to provide resources for children with visual impairment. These resources are developed by Doctors from Children's Hospital and Educators from the collaborating agencies in New England. They are unique and educational and are in no way spam or promotional materials. I would please encourage you to explore the said links and see for yourself the quality of the content and the educational potential contained within. Thanks! For reference for all links, please visit the project website ADVISOR, we are supported by the National Library of Medicine."

Please see Wikipedia's External links guidelines, especially the section on conflicts_of_interest. Given your relationship to www.e-advisor.us, essentially all of your contributions would appear to violate our guidelines. You might want to read WP:Spam#How not to be a spammer. -- Mwanner | Talk 16:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree with Mwanner. This is an encyclopedia, and as such the links should be primarily to provide relevant information to the reader. Many of the links you've provided are barely relevant and would not be useful for most readers. --Ronz 16:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Could you please be more specific as to how the links are not relevant? Children's Hospital links to some of these pages from their clinical site...please see This is the Ophthalmology page from CHB linking to us Each and every link I posted relates to the said topic, almost all of the resources we provide are unique and written by experts in the field....wikipedia didn't even have a dark adapted threshold page, nor did it have an article on orientation and mobility training....I again encourage you to actually look at the links, watch the educational movies and read the content contained within.....we are not a commercial website, we are non-profit, we have no advertising, and we are supported by a grant from the NIH....please re-consider....thank you.

What part of conflicts_of_interest don't you understand?
On the other hand, we would be delighted to have you contribute to the contents of our articles. -- Mwanner | Talk 18:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
