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 attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. --JFreeman (talk) 21:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hmm
If adding a relative visual resource to this collection of information via an identifiable and accountable user is considered SPAM then I suppose that I am guilty. I believe that I found similar links already present and THAT is what led me to create the link(s) in question. How were similar links introduced and deemed to be 'acceptable'?

Ok, I've wandered about a bit; this interface is a bit confusing. After reading the docs about SPAM it seems that there is no absolute on this - there are *always* exceptions. My intent was to simply provide additional relevant, topical, visual information by creating the external link to the resource. Based on these semi-policies and the reaction to the addition of the external link I will simply remove them.

All the best,
