It is not spam, the link removed has been there longer than any of the others, if you would take 10 seconds to look at the link you would see it is an unobtrusive community discussion focused on the city at hand (IdahoFallz extremely similar to Idaho Falls), many search results and websites link to IdahoFallz.com before the official city website because it has more information about the city than does the city website. Note that none of the people who keep trying to remove this link are from the area, they are not aware of community dynamics. Note that this link keeps getting removed, however the Panoramic photos link remains, however look at the advertising footprint on each page.

Spam is a concern, but it should not be labeled so quickly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idahofallz (talk • contribs)


 * You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

Again, no response to my information, just a labeling that I am doing wrong here. Maybe I am wrong, but nobody has provided the information to prove I am wrong. I have provided a substantial reason why the link is not spam. What do others have? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idahofallz (talk • contribs)


 * The site is not a reliable site, it is a community notice board (see WP:V). By the looks of it it does not comply with WP:NOT and WP:EL.  Furthermore, you seem to have a WP:COI.  It was now removed by 3 or 4 editors, and you keep putting it back.  Maybe the site is not appropriate, and maybe it should go?  Hope this explains.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 15:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
