321 books

I have read the discussion above but have deleted the links to the 321 books page on the grounds that there is more advertising on the page than information. Wikipedia is not here to support other peoples ad campaigns IMHO. Wikikob 15:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

How many words of advertising are there? How much content? Obviously a lot more content. The ratio is probably similar to that found on commercial TV stations. Wikipedia is not about persecuting sites that use advertisers. Read the TOS. If you don't have a free market way of looking at the world then please state that up front and not make simple mis-statements of fact.— Pgrieg (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Links normally to be avoided- rmvd--Hu12 19:59, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The Links normally to be avoidedsection is far too ambiguous. Broadcasting authorities lay down strict objective rules on advertising, i.e. so many minutes per hour. Wikipedia needs similar ruiles, e.g. density per page. Ambiguous rules give everybody carte blanche to delete external links for any reason. This is probably why links are disappearing from Wikipedia! To remain flexible and informative wikipedia needs to encourage contact with the outside world. Pgrieg 11:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Links disappearing? Wikipedia is drowning in 8.5 million links increasing daily. Many are inappropriate and we need discipline getting rid of the bad ones. Spam is everywhere. --BozMo talk 12:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

And discipline keeping the good ones. It's so easy to hit the delete button, so difficult to review a page objectively. Maybe if they paid the admins they'd do a better job. God knows why they do it. It's like volunteering to be a traffic warden -- the only 'benefit' is that they get to make up their own traffic laws. Oh well, good training for their future careers as petty bureaucrats. :-)— Pgrieg (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Request to add External Link

Dear Author,

I request you to visit my analysis on PEST. I have tried to analyze all factors in details. Hope this link will be helpful to readers. Here is the link:

(removed advertising link)

I am now aware whom to ask to add external link so i am using this page.

Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Voyage2mail (talk • contribs) 22:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC).

Readability

The main paragraph outlining the areas relating to each letter of PESTLE is quite difficult to follow. I think implementing a list with each letter on a different line preceeding an expansion could be more user friendly, such as: Political: Changes in government and government policies --193.61.107.151 22:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirections

There should be redirections to PEST analysis such as if I type in PESTEL or PESTLE then this page will come up.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Milesius (talk • contribs) 16:07, 15 May 2007

Those have been done. I've also merged SLEPT analysis here as it's much the same. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
