[edit] External links
I removed a link from this article because it does not satisfy WP:EL, specifically Links to avoid: "Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority." Corey Salzano (talk) 04:00, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
User 24.123.81.98 has started inserting links to attorney websites. User Ohnoitsjamie and myself have reverted these insertions. Corey Salzano 20:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I removed more links. Here's why: WP:EL states links should be avoided under the following criteria...
- Links to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising.
- Links mainly intended to promote a website.
- Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority.
- Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article.
The sites I removed were blogs run by and/or promoting Lemon Law lawyers, and another that had every page covered in Adsense. Corey Salzano (talk) 18:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I removed another link to an article that was simply a traffic funnel to a lemon law lawyer site, lemon law dot com. I've removed links to this site in the past because it promotes a business. I removed this traffic funnel link as well per WP:EL. Corey Salzano (talk) 17:43, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Mr. Salzano, As we discussed on Irish Guy's page, I will send ideas through here. However, Mr. Kimmel is a recognized authority on lemon law, served as Legal Consultant to the PA House of Represenatives' Consumer Affairs Committee, was responsible for writing two addendums to the Pennsylvania Lemon Law (the inclusion of leased cars in 2/02 and the inclusion of tighter title provisions for used cars in 12/02). He was also the author of the first computer lemon law bill, has been featured in over 500 news stories on lemon law and consumer issues, and is one of only two lemon law attorneys in the Nation to be honored by the American Bar Association (the other being his partner, Bob Silverman.) Wouldn't he qualify as a recognized authority? Also, the question above is exactly what I think we need to focus on....folks are looking for info and there is no place to turn. Anyway, thanks for discussing the matter with me and we will talk soon 65.91.69.113 (talk) 21:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)MSacks
- Great. I am sure this article can be improved with the help of what Mr Kimmel has done in my home state of Pennsylvania and around the nation. Let's talk about what we can do to improve this article about lemon laws. I don't challenge Mr Kimmel's notability, I just don't think external links that lead to Mr Kimmel's websites are the solution. Corey Salzano (talk) 22:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Corey: Please review external links. I beleive a couple should be deleted per the rules but I am not sure how this works. I'd like to send you a couple ideas for the page and it's content, most notably a section discussing lemon law myths. Can I send them here?65.91.69.113 (talk) 19:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)MSacks
