External link to MyBrain
I removed your external link on the article Brain, as the article is about all brains (from insects to mammals) while your link has information about personality testing. Regards, (EhJJ)TALK 15:41, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Links
Your links are not going to survive, because they do not contribute to the article and violate the Wikipedia policy concerning external links, WP:EL. You should realize that Wikipedia is constantly running into people who want to use it to promote their web pages, and has a zero tolerance policy toward this. The only way to get a commercial site linked is to make a convincing argument that it contributes something of great value to the article. Since your site is pushing ideas about cerebral dominance that go outside the mainstream, and selling products based on them, that isn't going to be possible. Of course you are very welcome to contribute information to the article, if you can reference it using reputable scientific sources. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 02:37, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I take your point about physiology vs psychology but I don’t entirely agree. What makes the subject of brain dominance is that it sits precisely on the boundary between the two subjects. You are right that we do have a commercial business associated with this but our interest in the site goes beyond that. Our “Become” and “Discover” sections of the site are the commercial aspects of the site, the “Learn” and “Extras” sections are provided free of charges and are designed to provide people with a wealth of information on the brain and brain-related conditions. It is for both of the above reasons that I believe our site’s content is additive to the content of these pages.
