Cue Sport revert
Hello. The reason that I reverted your external link addition is because, while I appreciate the value of the organization you represent, I have a few issues with the link. First of all, wikipedia is not a directory of links. If people want to find pool leagues, they can use google. Second, the link does not add significantly to the article that I can see. If the purpose of adding the link is just so people can be made aware of the website, then it does not really belong, while on the other hand, if the link adds significant information to the article that for some reason can't be included in the article (like for copyright reasons) then it should stay. I am not the owner of the article by any means. If you disagree with my reasoning, I would suggest posting the link on the discussion page and if someone else without a conflict of interest thinks that it is important, they will add it. Also, please remember to assume good faith on my part. I am not doing this because of any personal dislike of your website. --Chuck Sirloin 16:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, now that I see the www.8ballexpress.com website, I see that it is a for-profit pool league based out of North Carolina; not really the same as a national level billiard organization. The links you are adding don't add to the article, the only serve to bring traffic to your website, and as such are spam. --Chuck Sirloin 17:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

This link is no different than the American Pool Players Association, based out of St. Louis. If my link, which does point to a website that is a for-profit pool organization is deleted, than all other Organizations shoule be deleted, as they are all for-profit. If you overt this entry, then you should delete that entry in occordance with your own reasoning. Also, national or local, I was not aware that Wikipedia entries discrimnate based on size of organizations. 8 Ball Express is a billiard league that promotes the sport of billiards and allows people who may not have known of the game of billiards to play with very specific rules and guidelines. We seek to educated non-professional players and make them more aware of the sport. 8BallExpress.com does offer information about the sport and history of billiards that is available for the public to view. I am not looking to promote traffic to the website, but to make more people aware of an orgaization that will assist them in playing the sport of pool in an organizaed manner. I strongly feel that 8BallExpress.com contributes just as much to the Wikepiedia entry as any other organization listed, so please assume good faith. --dawnelizabeth8i 6:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Due to your conflict of interest, I suggest you post the link on the talk page and if other editors think that it is important enough to merit inclusion, they will add the link. --Chuck Sirloin 14:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
