Hi. You seem to be having some confusion about what a commercial link is. I had hoped you would read our guidelines at WP:EL. A commercial site is one that has something to sell. Neither Montoso Gardens nor Know and Enjoy Tropical Fruits (the other two links you questioned) have anything to sell on their sites. Hope that helps clear things up.

Shell,

There's no confusion here, and you may want to take a closer look at both sites you mentioned. Both sites have things to sell. Montoso gardens has an online store (http://www.montosogardens.com/online_store.htm), and Proscitech.com.au is busy plugging their latest book (http://www.proscitech.com.au/trop/details.htm). Their page even has pricing information and a Visa symbol. Interestingly enough, the source I cited from the XanGo website (which doesn't have a shopping cart or sell anything online) was removed. I think this kind of behavior is ridiculous. What's the point of adding content to Wikipedia if people with an agenda will constantly take it down? Also, I think we should be consistent. If we're not going to allow citations to information from commercial websites, then we should do it for ALL commercial websites (not just sites we like or dislike).
