[edit] External Link, Tuareg Culture and News

I added an external link to Tuareg Culture and News http://tuaregcultureandnews.blogspot.com/ because it offers reviews of articles as well as English translations of pertinent news items and interviews with members of the Niger Movement for Justice (MNJ) which are highly relevant to this Wikipedia article. It is a particularly good resource for English-speakers seeking to learn more about the Second Tuareg Rebellion. This website provides many additional sources and articles on the Tuareg people, and is an excellent resource base for research and study of the Tuareg people in general. This website lists helpful, relevant, reliable, accurate, on-topic sources on the Tuaregs, with a complete listing of books written about the Tuaregs in English, and many other relevant sources that are not included in the Wikipedia article on Tuaregs. This website makes the Tuareg literature in English accessible to English-speakers - the majority of resources are in French. The website provides a great deal of useful, helpful, informative, and factual information that permits English-speakers (and others) to learn more about Tuareg culture. This site includes reviews and interviews. It includes the full details of verifiable sources. It is not a commercial website, and is intended solely for educational purposes, focused on the Tuareg people. FoxezandHedgehogs (talk) 15:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

While it seems a reasonable link, your addition of it in a dozen articles, as well as you description of it as "an educational website" seem chancy at best. This is a pro - MNJ blog (YOUR pro-MNJ blog), which is fine, but it teeters on the edge of being acceptable as a wikipedia source. Also adding long quotes from the MNJ tacked onto the end of the article is poor writing and NOT WP:NPOV. Please read the style and tone guides in Help:Contents. You may be passionate abot this conflict, but it is a conflict with many sides, and we must represent them all in the fairest manner possible. T L Miles (talk) 22:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
