Greetings, Maria10029. I have reviewed your vis.org links and, while they don't appear to qualify as "spam links", they do seem to fail Wikipedia's policy on external links, based primarily on two criteria. First, articles "about any organization, person, or other entity should link to their official site, if they have one." Despite its 11 apparent years in existence, VIS does not show obvious citation by established sources in a Google search, and offers little more than a repository of links to the respective candidates' pages, which already are included in their articles. Second, "any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article here would have once it becomes an example of brilliant prose" should in general be avoided. Feel free to write me with any comments and/or questions.  Radio Kirk   talk to me  23:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
