Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

- Wikipedia's policies about external links creates a NOFOLLOW tag in the link automatically to prevent search engines from using the links as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tools or otherwise using them inappropriately. In adding the list of external links (of which I planned on adding many more when time permitted) I was attempting to be fair in breaking them up by region and area. You or someone found it appropriate to allow a SINGLE franchise owner to use his Atlanta based chem dry as an example but when then you found reason to subject a fuller list to exclusion? I realize you are attempting to sound helpful in this matter and give the appearance of being objective, but the list I submitted was by far more informative and helpful to those searching for chem-dry locations and information that the "single" franchise site going to Browns Chem-dry you seem to find appropriate. I disagree with your preventing this edit from posting and feel it is appropriate, accurate and related to the article, which is a stub anyways.

- Stub or not, your extensive over-linking runs foul of WP:EL guidelines. If you disagree please raise the issue on the WP:EL talk page or the article talk page for wider input. Thanks, RFerreira (talk) 16:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
