Froosh,

Thank you for the email. I think I understand your situation, and I will try to explain where I'm coming from.

It's very common for people to try to promote websites by adding links to Wikipedia, and we have a policy that you are not allowed to add links to a site you are affiliated with. This isn't anything against you or your site; rather, it is natural for people think sites they are involved with are valuable, and allowing people to judge the usefulness of their own sites violates our neutrality policy.

When you think one of your links is especially relevant, I suggest you ask on the talk page for a neutral editor to add it. If the link is really useful, it should not be hard to find someone who agrees with you. As you noticed, one editor already added back one of your links, and I did not object.

Also, I think being honest about your relationship with the site (as you were in the email), and not adding the links using anonymous IP addresses, will make it easier for others to see your good faith. Thanks, Wmahan. 04:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
