Hi - I'm not sure exactly how to use this. This isn't spam. QID is a visitors guide to Dublin for LGBT people, in the same way as dublin.ie or other visitor sites - i'm not sure why this is considered spam. Apologies for the misunderstanding, I'm just not sure what the issue is even after reading the external link guidelines ?


 * I advise you to read external links, especially the #11 of "Links normally to be avoided". Basically your link is a guy social networking site and therefore should not be included in the Dublin article. ww2censor 14:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I see what you mean. We are a guide to LGBT Dublin thats been running some time, but recently added in social networking aspects for people to be able to communicate with fellow users... Apologies for the confusion. I thought linking to the main visitors guide section, it would be fine. Thanks for clarifying it though. C —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.125.90.39 (talk) 15:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
