A few appropriately placed links to a nonprofit organization supporting a rare disease is hardly spam, especially given your nofollow policy. There are not many resources for this disease, and the "site in question" is a good one. Therefore, it is a good contribution to Wikipedia. I wish i could get as quick a response to this defense of my actions as i got to deleting this talk page!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Banannafish (talk • contribs)

User talk page and user page info
Regarding user talk pages, it is best to not delete notices, but instead, to archive them. You will find how to do this here, under "When pages get too long." Your talk page is intended to serve as a place to discuss your contributions. It ends up being a sort of a history of the work you've done and the conflicts you've been in, or the praise you've received. It's alright to archive comments or warnings, but blanking your talk page is not considered appropriate, as it is not actually yours but instead belongs to us all. Please read WP:USERPAGE and WP:TALK. Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages can often be interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil. For this reason, eventually when you desire to keep the "clutter" down on your user talk page, I suggest that you create archives for these messages. I would be happy to assist you in doing just that if you ask me to. You can see a sample of archives (mine) here. As for your user page, most users seem to use it as a place to describe themselves as people and/or editing entities. Many collect links to pages they are working on and/or have been working on. You user page is more "yours," in a way, than anywhere else on wikipedia, but is not intended to serve as a personal webpage either. Once again, read here to learn more about this. --  K u k i ni  hablame aqui 16:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
