[edit] Mezzanine definition
There is no full-height partition between mezzanine and the room in which it is located, therefore not every intermediate floor is a mezzanine. (E-Mail removed for security purposes)

[edit] Spam Link?
I have added a spam-link warning to this page because user:Uraknai has inserted a link to a mezzanine builder, Pearson Knight, and reinserted it without comment after I deleted it, remarking: "Removed unhelpful commercial web link. If this company is more relevant than other mezzanine builders, write a paragraph explaining that."
Since I assume good faith, and was willing to concede that a link to a mezzanine builder might be helpful I looked for the most informative builder's website I could find (http://www.eseprojects.co.uk/mezzanine-floors.asp) and substituted that one for Uraknai's preferred site. Now Uraknai has reverted back to his/her original Pearson Knight link, again without explanation, suggesting that the motive may be commercial rather than educational.
Tell us, Uraknai, are you in any way affiliated with Pearson Knight? If not, then you must have another reason for so persistently preferring this web link to others that seem to be more informative. Please state your reasons on this talk page before editing this article again. Perhaps this is just a misunderstanding on my part. —Blanchette 05:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- He's a red-link whose only activity has been on this page. If he refuses to answer, take the issue to an admin. With any luck, the admin will block the user, and then you can delete the spamlink. Baseball Bugs 12:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- For better or worse (but almost definitely better), the link has been removed by 62.190.179.10. Since both links were to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services (criteria #4 of links normally to be avoided), neither would be suitable for Wikipedia, really. Now this page is most certainly spam-free (horray! :) ), so I removed the cleanup-spam tag. I also added a Level 1 spam link warning on Uraknai's talk page. ~ Danelo 00:09, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
