External links

Please do not add 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.

About the Nevis1 link--your message to me

Michael, thank you for your message. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to make that call now. When we first started the work on the article expansion, I initially tried to approach the links by pointing out the unique and non-commercial aspects of those that had useful info, yours included, because I knew that every aspect of the article was going to be scrutinized in the Featured Article evaluation process (which is why I added a description in the first place--the Nevis1 link had none as of June 06, which is about 5 months after it was first added). However, I am not an administrator (admins are trusted community representatives who get voted into their position, and they work hard enforcing policy and also perform a host of other admin tasks---I don't have the skill or time to be involved in that way; I mainly write, and my main aim in regards to the Nevis article is keep it stable so that it may be presented and considered for featured article status again, which it failed last time). On policy issues, or when disputes develop, I always have to ask for input from an administrator, which I did, in order to keep the article stable. What I would suggest, under the circumstances, is that you concentrate on developing the Wikitravel article on Nevis, which the Nevis Wikipedia article links to. That article has no info yet, and could really use your input, skill and knowledge, everything you have to offer from your personal experience in Nevis; sightseeing spots, restaurants, diving sites, etc, etc. If you put some time and effort into writing and assisting the Wiki travel community and its readership, and do not show up just to insert your link, I don't think that you will have a problem referring readers to useful websites from there. But please read the policy first. (I noticed that the Nevis1 link was actually first added here, in Jan. 06, without a description, but the user adding the link is also a single-use account that came to Wikipedia with the sole purpose of adding that link. Just to let you know: That practice is frown upon and considered spamming). OhNoitsJamie is a trusted admin., especially when it comes to link policy judgments, and is known as a fair, approachable administrator as well. For that reason, any further discussion about the link is probably best dealt with on Jamie's talk page. Best wishes, Pia 08:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
