Spamming of http://.woodgas.net
Yet after reading the conditions set forth in the anti-spam policy I have to disagree with you removing the links to my website. Linking to my website is not disallowed; just that caution should be used to keep from a conflict of interest. Yes I did add my link to some pages, but it was not spam in the true sense of spam. I added the link because woodgas.net is one of the few website that has active woodgas projects in the United States. If you could be so kind as to review my website and then re-add my link to the woodgas section. I would appreciate it. I do apologize if I was a little aggressive in adding my link. However I do feel that a link to my website from the wood gas page is relevant information and a pertinent link on the page. If you still disagree, fine. I will not bother with it.

I understand kind of. Yet for me it is frusterating, you can say that I may have a bias and I am sure I do. Yes that website is my website but my inseration of my link in Wikipedia is to actualy add a source of current information on the application of Biomass, woodgas, ect. My website is not a commercial website, it is purly an informational website. Sorry if it was taken as spam, I guess I could see it if I was adding the link to say a solar energy page. But honestly I tried to keep it contained to the pages the information direcly applies to.
