City Photo Guide link
Your site is a vehicle for advertising and hotel reservations. It is not appropriate for this Wikipedia article. I'm sorry. --AStanhope 12:02, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm familiar with your site. I owned and operated Bangkok.com from 1997 to 2005.  I was among the first Westerners to bring the internet to Thailand.  ...  You can't rush in headstrong to an article that the rest of us have been tending for months/years and promote your own site with a link.  I daresay that the other editors involved with the article would agree with me.  ...  Here's what you need to do...  You need to go to the Bangkok Talk page and start a new section called "CityPhoto" and make your case for why your link is appropriate for the article.  People involved with the article will either give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down and when a general consensus is reached we can act accordingly.  This is the most democratic way to do things and hopefully you'll consider it to be fair.  OK?  Thanks.  --AStanhope 12:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh, one quick thing... Try to sign messages you put on Talk pages (including user Talk pages) with four tildes (~) or by using the signature button (between the No W and Hyphen buttons) at the top of the edit box.  Thanks!  --AStanhope 12:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Cool, thanks. I like your site, btw.  I just don't think it belongs here.  Where do you live in the BK?  --AStanhope 13:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)


 * You did what you needed to do and nobody else seems to have cared - so I say GO FOR IT! Wooo!  I won't object and I'll even point out that you went through the motions on the Talk page if anybody else makes a problem.  Feel free to notify me if something like that comes up.  --AStanhope 14:43, 4 April 2006 (UTC)  P.S. I'm jealous - I'll be celebrating Songkran in cold and rainy New England again this year - nothing like the real thing!


 * Another suggestion... Perhaps you could create a Wikipedia-only entry page for your site that isn't so ad heavy so that when people click through to the first page they won't get the wrong impression.  You'd only need to make one such page - a copy of your front page without the ads.  The rest of the pages (and their ads) would presumably remain the same.  --AStanhope 14:46, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Adam, I removed all the ads from the home page as you suggested and added the link in the article. --Cityphoto 12:27, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
