Please stop adding advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks.  Will Beback   talk    22:58, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

This does not appear to be an "information site". It appears to be a retailer.  Will Beback   talk    00:13, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "Pure Infrared Saunas is one of the largest wholesale factory direct manufacturers. We supply retail consumers saunas at wholesale prices."

Yeah, and I fixed the link to go to the blog, which is all information. Seems to me like you abuse your authority.


 * We usually don't link to blogs. See WP:EL.   Will Beback    talk    00:16, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

So you can link to personal pages with links list on them, but cannot link to an informational site. Well then I think http://www.naturisme-en-sauna.net/ should be removed from the links as well because there is inappropriate content on the site.


 * The information on your blog seems to center on the benefits of infrared saunas, so it's still a commercial site. What's the issue with the other site?    Will Beback    talk    00:30, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

It shows naked girls covered in mud half way down. I find that inappropriate.
 * That's not a problem, so far as Wikipedia is concerned. However the site is not in English, so that's a reason to delete it.   Will Beback    talk    00:35, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

None of the sites listed are in English in the links section.
 * The first one, which you kept replacing with your own, is in English. I haven't checked the rest.   Will Beback    talk    00:55, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Vengeance is a poor reason for an edit. If you do that again your account may be blocked.   Will Beback    talk    00:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I take it that, the first link is either your site or a friend of yours. Because if you click on the home page of that site, it is clearly not in English. So my guess is you know the owner and thats why it is still listed. Vengeance has nothing to do with it, its about fairness. Those links have been on the page for quite some time. Yet mine was taken off within 30 minutes. But now I know the whole reason behind it.
 * Yes, you've caught me. I get a $50 kickback every time someone visits http://www.sauna.fi/sweatbaths.html from Wikipedia.   Will Beback    talk    01:06, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Its not about the click throughs, its about the link juice. It is all for SEO purposes. You can say all the sarcasm you want. We both know the truth, because that is the only site you are worried about. I bet if I didnt edit that link and just added mine, then we wouldnt be having this conversation.
