 * Hi Perfecto,
 * do you've specific questions about trionfi.com?
 * It's a group of researchers and the group works intensively about Tarot and Playing Card history, especially in 15th century. Naturally we've a good level of understanding and informations to the connected matters. And recently we engaged a little bit to improve some articles of wikipedia, also we've generated some new.
 * Now it's the state in the web, that we've a dominant position in the whole scene of Tarot and playing cards in 15th century with about 10.000 pages, lots of articles connected to a Museum with 3500 decks - naturally a sort of specification, that Wikipedia can't offer. Now you suggested, that I should not link to "own pages". How? Either I give good informative links to a focussed theme and then I've to link to own pages, or ... I better leave wikipedia as it is. Which would be a pity to wikipedia, as far Tarot and Playing Card history is concerned ... Perhaps you should take a visit to trionfi.com and have an impression of your own, what we're doing there. Don't fear, it's not commercial.
 * Well, I accept your understanding of rules, but "rules" generally do not fit in each individual situation.
 * Regards

How? Might I suggest a third way: Create more new articles or submit some of your content (e.g., images) and release their copyright to the GFDL. When you realise that Wikipedia may someday find print or sent to indigents without Internet access, then you understand we want 'content', not more web links. Also, adding links only to the site you're closely involved in (and putting them first on the list) has bias itself. As such, for example, I "balanced" your Mantegna Tarocchi links with others (Pictures would be useful, by the way). I hope I answered your question. Thank you for your note. --Perfecto 19:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
