Business details and titles

edit

Several times over the last few days the details and titles of individual businesses in the village have been re added to this article, and I would like to get consensus here before the conflict escalates into an edit war.

I removed the list of businesses and links to their web sites considering it to be link spamming. These were subsequently added back in (without the links to URLs). I think it is important to give readers as good an idea about the place as we can but it should not be an advert for them. I would suggest looking at the guidelines and policy pages for editing wikipedia which have been arrived at by discussion between many editors over long periods of time eg Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory (particularly items 3 & 4). Any editor is of course welcome to go to the relevant policy page and argue for it to be changed there, but individual village articles such as this one are not the place to try to achieve these changes.— Rod talk 07:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree with Rod. Wikpedia isn't an advertising platform, it is an encyclopaedia. Individual businesses should only be named if they are noteworthy and contribute significantly to the town/village. This would typically be if they had a Wikipedia article of their own. A examples nearby is Sandford, Somerset, which is home to Thatchers Cider. Guidance on how to write about UK towns/villages can be seen at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements. This has nothing to do with censorship, just good style. --TimTay (talk) 07:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
