Link removal
Hi Kikucall. Thanks for leaving a message on my talk page. I believe you're talking about my removal of the http://www.instantcast.com links which you added here. They were removed for several reasons, but mainly because they appeared to meet our definition of spam and because they did not add encyclopedic information to the article, being geared for people who were looking to become models rather than for people reading up about modeling agencies from a more general perspective, this falls under our what wikipedia is not policy, specifically the "not a how to guide" point. You can read more about what's appropriate for external links at our external links guidelines. In general though we encourage editors to add content to articles rather than external links. We're trying to build a GFDL encyclopedia, and external links do little to further that mission. Thanks -- Siobhan Hansa 12:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
