{{helpme}} I add an external link to the Chicken, Alaska page and it keeps getting deleted. You suggest that it is "promotional" purposes!? I submit to you the two external links on that page now are purely promotional to those businesses! My external link, chickenminer.com , has many great photographs of the Chicken, Alaska area. It also shows old historic photographs and the active mining community. I believe this link is of great value. Chickenmusher (talk) 20:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello! External links are quickly becoming a problem on Wikipedia. Specifically, the link you have added apears to be a personal website, which is discouraged. Please see the external links guidelines for more information. It appears you may have a conflict of interest in adding this link, and Wikipedia does not want to become a linkfarm. If you need further help, please leave a message on my talk page. Happy editing!--12 Noon 20:32, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
