Tomb Raider links
Please stop adding the same link on every Tomb Raider game page. Unless your website contains relevant info pertaining to said games you may include it. Otherwise it's simply advertising. A link to www.codename-croft.com is already included on the page Tomb Raider series. Rewording the description does not change the fact that it's the same link included with every game. If your website (I'm simply presuming it's yours mind you) does contain sections relating to the corresponding games then specify that link. Feel free to use Wikipedia and edit articles but do not use it to advertise a certain website. --Steerpike 21:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * hello steerpike...
 * you have written me a message about my Tomb Raider site with regards to relevance of where i have posted the link to. My site includes EVERY GAME synopsis,characters,cheats,locations,images,etc. This is why i have linked my RELEVANT site in all the Tomb Raider categories because my site is extensive and does contain info about ALL the games and Movies. If you would take the time to visit my site you will see it is extensive. Perhaps you can come up with a suggestion for a link, as it is impossible to post exteral links to all these sections as they are all at different locations on the site. My site is relevant to all the categories i have put it in, and it is a quality site This type of thing is not http://marriage.about.com/od/entertainmen1/p/bradpitt.htm but still this remains as a notable link. This page is a link that is not at all good but is obviously "notable" because lots of people have visited it. Just because the traffic is high for that site doesn't mean to say it is quality. How on earth do you expect people to use Wikipidea with a view to learning if you are going to take off information they are looking for? I feel as if i am being penalised for using the facilities of Wikipedia. Why have an external links page if you are going to take vital information off. www.codename-croft.com

Hi. My concern was that you were simply adding those links to advertise your website. I did actually browse through it but I couldn't immediately find said sections about "game help". I just see no point in adding "the same link" on every Tomb Raider game page. What I much prefer is something, for example, like this:


 * On the Tomb Raider series page: http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/
 * On the page of Tomb Raider II: http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/tr2/index.html

That way I *am* linking to the same site but to specific sections of it, which seems more useful to me. I'm not against people adding external links (please do so!) but the Tomb Raider pages are periodically swamped with them. Someone recently put a link to a Tomb Raider Legend website on every game page. I'm trying to weed out the unneccessary ones as much as possible. I'm not pretending to be a moderator. The Wikipedia is, after all, free to edit for anyone. But my reasons for deleting your links were fair enough, in my opinion. Feel free to add them back under a more specified form. Cheers. --Steerpike 17:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
