- If you read this page on the website of globally-recognised music magazine, Mojo, you'll see that my addition of Aberystwyth band The Lowland Hundred to the Music section on the Aberystwyth page is arguably the most relevant addition to the entire section.
- This is an Aberystwyth band making internationally-acclaimed records about Aberystwyth: how is this not relevant to a music section on a Wikipedia page about Aberystwyth?
- Regarding your marking of the edit as spam... Notice that I linked to the band's official website, rather than something like the article above which, while giving plenty of context and justification for my addition of the link, nevertheless makes subjective quality judgments which promote both the band and their products.
- I look forward to your thoughts on this.--Frank poulankh (talk) 12:30, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
- In fact, since posting my original response, I have discovered this link on the BBC website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/midwales/hi/people_and_places/music/newsid_8388000/8388083.stm I feel this adds further weight to my case, since it is an impartial link from a public service broadcaster.
