If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, please ignore this notice.

Obviously you don't even follow your own guidelines because I'm following the guidelines and you deleted my stuff.

Yea, well I'm contributing to the site and he/she keeps deleting my stuff when that site that I have found is an exelent reference and good contribution to the site. Especially when it has information on tons of Celtic symbols and has a ton of pictures that people can get examples from. I read all that stuff and it says I can contribute. I can't plagerise the stuff off of that site so it's more appropriate to link to it so that people can obtain the knowledge that's on it. Since you don't want me to contribute then I'm already trying to delete my contributions to the site.

Hi Celticartist. Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided has a list of the types of things to avoid for external links. The ones that MER-C may have being referring to include items #1 (pictures are easy to find on the web with any search engine - does this site offer notably unique information that couldn't eventually be included in the article itself - even if that requires writing the content from scratch rather than violating copyright... btw - thank you for not plagiarising them!) and #5 (commercial type links). When you add four external links, like you did to Celtic art, it strongly looks like spam. Best regards —Mrand ^T-C 20:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes this site has unique information that can't eventually be added to the article... especially when it comes to Celtic Art and Celtic Crosses. The stuff this guy talks about can't be found period and he's copyrighting every bit of it. He knows this information because it was passed down to him by word of mouth from his family. He is a Clark, which means his family was the first of the Bards and scribes in Celtic history. (Notably the source where all our information comes from in the first place. I know that he writes from scratch and that none of his writings or art will ever be allowed on this site because he publishes everything in a way that his family will keep copyrights. He's a writer/artist/publisher. I know of him because of doing searches while trying to understand Celtic stuff and ended up emailing him to get information on the ogham alphabet Ogham Alphabet. Well, he has it when it comes to art and symbolism, and even culture since he has direct knowledge from his family that has been passed down and never shared with the public until now. Check out the stuff on the Ogham. I know you can't find that somewhere else because it's the first time in history that it has been shared with the public. I am sure a ton of his other information has also never been seen.
