Talk:World clock

😙

linkspam
I have restored timereq.com, which I mistakenly thought was using third party scripts.

The reasons I used for removing certain external links are:
 * link required third party javascript
 * link required a flash plugin (poodwaddle.com)
 * link web site fails after a few clicks (gchart.com)
 * link gave incorrect times for some locations (devmatrix.ath.cx for Australia, India and others)

I left these links because they still work when all scripts are blocked (for example when a viewer is using an advertisement blocker or is using certain Linux/Unix browsers):
 * timeanddate.com - requires no scripts
 * date-calculator.org - requires no scripts  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.4.236.27 (talk) 09:15, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * timereq.com     - requires Javascript
 * world-clock.info - requires Javascript but does give correct times as far as I can see
 * www.fhs.ch      - requires Javascript

All except the Swiss link use, but do not require, google ads. I did not use the presence or absence of advertisments as a criteria, mainly because they all advertise, but other editors might. Ideally the article needs a link to a page that gives some history and background to world clocks. -Wikianon (talk) 09:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I've added a note about Jens Olsen's World Clock; a search for it might arrive here, but despite the name it's an astronomical clock not a world clock. Moonraker12 (talk) 14:14, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
