Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Stereopsis. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 12:25, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Though I have been using Wikipedia quite extensively in the past when I was still researching, I have never posted any information here. To make a long story short, after having finished my researchers career I put all the relevant information of my research on a web-site (www.jarnoralli.fi). Since I am a private person living in Finland the site's name is my name (as per the law). However, since I have put code (Matlab/MEX) related to the calculation of both optical-flow and stereo disparity at the site, I decided to "make a contribution" by adding a link to Wikipedia. The reason for making this contribution was simply the fact that quite many people have actually contacted me about the codes and they seem to be quite helpful grasping some of the ideas related to both the optical- and stereo disparity flow fields. However, you yourself told me not to "add inappropriate" external links to the stereo page and the link that I put at the optical flow page has been taken out. At the same time links to a closed CUDA implementation of the same has not been removed...I thought that open, fairly well commented code, would have served better, but it would seem that my thinking was wrong.
