Vuvuzela
Hello Drshamoon, and welcome to Wikipedia! I can see you undid my edit. You say the external link is a useful resource. How exactly is it useful? I went through "What should be linked" and "Links to be considered", and I fail to see where www.vuvuzela-time.co.uk fits. Thanks,  Davtra   (talk) 11:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Davtra, thanks for the warm welcome. The whole debate over the vuvuzela as they are implemented around the world is the effect they have on sport. Vuvuzela-time.co.uk perfectly captures the common convention that they are a nuisance and nothing more than a gimmick. The satirical nature of the site suggests that vuvuzelas have just as much place on the internet as in sport (i.e. none). Plus it gives a more accurate impression of their tone compared to any other link on the site. I believe it to be an important factor in the "love them or hate them" debate.

 * Yes, I think I can see where you are coming from. However, I went through "Links normally to be avoided" section and I can see this website fits under 1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain. This website would fit nicely under the "In popular culture" section which was recently removed (Wikipedia doesn't want to end up like this). Other editors may remove the homepage link, so be prepared to present your arguments to those editors.


 * Besides the vuvuzela article, are there other articles on Wikipedia that you would like to edit?  Davtra   (talk) 12:21, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
