Talk:Escape (radio program)

Err, I don't believe the exclamation point is need. It was spoken as an exclamation in the announcer's spiel, but is never mentioned in logs, publicity material, memoirs, or radio history. Would anyone mind if I moved this? Aleal 00:54, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Moving...
Since there's no indication that this title should have had an exclamation mark (no other Wikipedia entries on the series include it), I'm moving this, and turning this into a redirect. Aleal 2 July 2005 21:07 (UTC)

External links being systematically deleted
Please help me with...

I run a non-commercial, advertising-free website devoted to Old Time Radio. I publish a mixture of my own work and work submitted to me by fans. These include: plotlines, reviews, CD cover art, a comprehensive listing of radio adaptations of famous authors' work, top-10 lists, recommendations, and links to other websites. The site hosts over 2,100 plotlines and 1,300 reviews from 70 different radio series. The 'Famous Authors on Radio' page cross-references 2,800 stories from over 900 different authors. Since this is an ever-expanding work-in-progress, some of the pages are more complete and higher in quality than others. The website has been online for 17 years.

Several dozen of the Old Time Radio web pages at Wikipedia provide external links back to the corresponding pages at my website because my website provides copyrighted material that some people have found useful.

I did not create these links. But I do maintain them. (Actually, I did not create any of the original links -- many of which date to 2004 -- but, as my website has grown I have added links to new web pages.)

Lately, those links have been systematically deleted by one (or perhaps several) individuals. The reason given is 'Low Quality URL'.

I have read the Wikipedia section on External links. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links#What_can_normally_be_linked It seems like the links to my website might fall in a grey area.

I am writing to ask if there is a community consensus on whether these links can remain? Or if, in the interest of improving Wikipedia, they should be removed? In other words, I can't tell if the links were justifiably deleted or whether they were the result of vandalism. (And if they were the result of vandalism, how I should proceed.)

Any help about how I should proceed to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

P.S. I have posted this question on the External Links board, but have not received any comments.

Roulette
I was listening to Roulette (Escape) but only reached the point where Richard gets arrested after the fight at the train station. Can someone tell me the rest of the story? 76.68.59.80 (talk) 15:30, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
