Robin Hood
[edit]We have policies and guidelines about links, such as Wikipedia is not a repository of links and external links. The bottom line is, external links should only be kept if they add something necessary to the understanding of the topic that isn't there already. The link you're talking about is essentially advertising for a performer in England; it's not necessary to the understanding of the Robin Hood legend. Of course, over time, many other inappropriate links built up over there, so I've done my best to remove them as well.--Cúchullain t/c 06:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
