Question for Alansohn regarding Tenafly

Hope that this is the proper place to ask for clarification. I added our Tenafly.tv site to the Tenafly page this morning and just noticed that you had undone the change. I'm rather new at this, but was hoping you might be able to clarify why. While we are not the offical Tenafly town site, our site focuses solely on Tenafly and gives a unique video perspective.

Thank you for your time.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Iliketohike (talk • contribs)

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I have visited and read the External link policy you referenced and found it very informative. I realize a hybrid site such as ours can be difficult to classify since the software we use does include blog and social media capabilities. While our site features a blog section, we have only used this feature to provide a welcome messages to our visitors and do not consider ourselves a blog site by any stretch.

Was hoping to provide you with some additional information and ask if it would be possible for you to revisit our site and consider re-including it...

The main purpose our our site is to handpick and distill videos about Tenafly, NJ. We are not a commercial site and do not accept any advertising or sell any services. Our hope is that the videos provide a distinctly different and useful way for visitors interested in Tenafly to learn about the city, much in the way that other select town guides are sometimes included in Wikipedia listings.

For example, parents considering a move to Tenafly may be interested in detailed stats provided by the NCES link, potential students might be more interested to see videos of different school events and video scrapbook albums of different classes.

Thank you again for your time and consideration.
