[edit] Removal of Fan Site

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia. I've visited it a couple times, but never really tried editing until now. I wanted to know why exactly you consider me adding The HeadCrab Union on the Half-Life 2 page advertising. It's a place for all Valve games and mods. Is there some reason that it doesn't deserve to be listed along with the other fan sites? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by sentinelrv (talk • contribs).

It may be so that I was to hasty in my judgment. However, my judgment was based on 1) it was an anonymous edit, 2) the description didn't describe the link but rather copied a slogan, and 3) Wikipedia:External links. The latest policy in a nutshell: Adding external links can be a service to our readers, but they should be kept to a minimum of those that are meritable, accessible and appropriate to the article. I do believe there are enough external links in the Half-Life 2 article. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 06:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Look, I signed up now, so it wouldn't be an anonymous edit. I can write a description for the link. Also, I've spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into maintaing this union, not to mention getting endorsed by GameSpot itself and affiliating with some of the fan sites that are listed on there. We are also one of the fan sites that keep up our news coverage and even have features such as game guides and mod interviews. It only feels right that we should be listed on there along with the others.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by sentinelrv (talk • contribs).
I won't remove it again if you put it up. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 11:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
