Unsuccessfully trying to add a link to a pertinent article

[edit]

The light is one of several that is up for sale/acquisition under the terms of the Lighthouse Preservation Act. The article is on the subject of Michigan Lighthouses on auction block.]</ref> This article is being deemed spam, and the edits are being blocked. It is not spam so far as I can tell. I can't put the link here, as it is "blacklisted" so we can't talk about it. This would seem to be a real conundrum. I tried to put it in the edit summary, and it's still blocked. This is b.s. from my viewpoint. I am putting the beginning of the hyper link in bold lettering, so perhaps we can dupe the filter so that somebody can take a look at this.

the end of the link is as follows:

/article/955951/michigan_lighthouses_on_the_auction.html?cat=54

If you put together the bolded material, then you have the link. This is very frustrating.

The title of the article is Michigan Lighthouses on the Auction Block History for Sale, By Sandra Petersen, published Aug 22, 2008. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 18:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]

Name of Article -- should this be Menominee (Marinette) North Pierhead Light?

[edit]

Various sources (Lighthouse Digest) uses this to cescribe this light, and to use the term Menominee Pier light to describe the associated light. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 01:44, 26 November 2008 (UTC) Stan[reply]

[edit]
There were eleven entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
  • ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
  • LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
  • WP:ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.
  • WP:ELCITE: access dates are not appropriate in the external links section. Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
  • WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. -- Otr500 (talk) 16:05, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
