[edit]Hello... thanks for the note. Unfortunately, the links you added to Ottawa and Granby, Quebec do not meet the requirements set out under Wikipedia's external link guidelines. Thank you for your contribution, however. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about this. --Ckatzchatspy 19:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- Simply put, the link fails based on several conditions under "Links normally to be avoided":
- 1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. (The site in question contains very little information, none of which is unique.)
- 3. Links mainly intended to promote a website. (Given the lack of unique information present, this link serves no purpose other than to gain a larger audience for the site.)
- 5. Links to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising. (Site has prominent text advertising in column on right side of page, visible at all times.)
- As well, an examination of the site (home page etc.) reveals that it appears to exist primarily to get viewers for advertising. (This is a subjective analysis,of course, but the home page boasts of "anylizing reports" [sic] and information on the "best looking girls/boys in the world".) Sorry, but it just doesn't meet the guideline. --Ckatzchatspy 19:54, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- No problem... I know that I have certainly found lots of links that are interesting, but they do not necessarily meet the requirements for inclusion. However, there are still many, many ways to contribute to Wikipedia - I hope you enjoy the project, and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 17:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
