User talk:Revell

April 2016

Hello, I'm Donner60. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Hotel Indigo because it seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks.

The program from which I review does not show the entire article, which almost always is not a problem or cause for confusion. This seems to be an exception. I understand your confusion so I am striking the above message. None of those links to the individual hotels web sites should be in the text of the article. If you look at the external links section, you will see that the New Orleans hotel is referenced, as is several others. If these belong anywhere, that is where they belong. They are not references to show the existence of a fact. Since Wikipedia is not a directory, it is not proper to list the individual hotel web sites in the text of the article. Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a directory. The chain web site is in the infobox, which is acceptable and the New Orleans site has already been referenced. You are correct that for consistency the other links should be deleted or moved to external links. Sorry for the confusion. Donner60 (talk) 02:46, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
