Hi, you asked on another user's page about the reason for removing the links to your web site.

Advertising your site by placing over 50 links in various dog pageses to your site, commerical or not, isn't an apropriate use of wikipedia because wikipedia is not a collection of web links. Your site would have to be a very important to merit that many links, otherwise it's just spamming to gain exposure.

Furthermore, You seem to have implied that the book listed on this site is your personal work or you have, by saying:  I have recently published a dog book online. of course i realize that "I have published" doesn't necesarally mean authorship but it does imply rights.

A few quick web searches reveals that this web site is actually a verbatim copy of Dogs and All About Them by Robert Leighton from project gutenberg. I find it very unusual that someone would republish a public domain book to a website and make no reference to the authors name whatsoever. That's ethically dubious at best unless you are Robert Leighton, and if you are, that's just odd.

If you honestly want to provide information about dogs to the public, why not use the information in Mr. Leighton's book along with other sources to write new original articles for wikipedia. - Trysha (talk) 04:30, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
