[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. I don't believe the large number of links you've added to "Book Drum" are appropriate according to Wikipedia:External links. I therefore intend to remove them, unless there is an explanation of how they comply with that guideline. Please do not add any more. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:43, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
The links to "Book Drum" are appropriate as: "Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that is relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject and cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues,[2] amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks), or other reasons." Book Drum has far more information and detail on each book it covers than Wikipedia can possibly accommodate, especially in the page-by-page companion notes. It is widely used by English teachers in the US and the UK, and consequently represents a valuable educational resource that complements Wikipedia's own coverage very well. Numerous authors have praised Book Drum's coverage of their books (do they praise Wikipedia?) Please do not remove the links until you have made a thorough assessment of the quality, neutrality, accessibility and accuracy of the book profiles they link to.
