User talk:Antb

Hi there. Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like it here and stick around. If you want, you can drop us a note at New user log to introduce yourself.

Before you start doing a lot of editing, you might want to take the Tutorial. It gives a lot of basic info you'll want to get you oriented on Wikipedia.

You can sign your name on talk pages by using three tildes ( " ") for your username and four (" ~ ") for your username and a timestamp.

If you have any other questions about the project, then check out Help or add a question to the Help desk.

Happy editing, Louisemil 12:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Do not add promotional links to external site
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. --A.

 * I have followed this up on the discussion page with the following, the insinuation that this is a spam link is a bit galling considering. Clearly there was no research done into the source of the story.


 * Hi. You are probably right about my edit summary for the link reversion but I disagree some of your other comments. To keep all my comments in one place, I have responded to your comments here and elsewhere at Talk:Mobile phone. --A. B. 16:08, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Removed valid reference link
A link to an item supporting the amount of the child population with mobile phones has been removed. The source was Onecompare - a prominent commentator in the UK press as can be seen from a google search * http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=onecompare&meta=

i.e Comment in Times, Telegraph, Guardian, Mirror etc.

I see this link has been marked as spam by user AB and has been replaced by a link to theregister - an IT news site with seemingly no presence in the mainstream press. This seems to be a calculated attempt to remove a valid link with preference being given to another site of lesser importance.

I have changed the link back to the original and leave this topic open to discussion. AntB
