Hello.

Will you kindly stop placing advertising links on the Kilmacolm page that have been removed in accordance with Wikipedia policy. --Breadandcheese (talk) 01:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I see Search-inverclyde.org/search as a non-profit additional search engine for anyone in Inverclyde to use and abuse. Completely for the community and with many websites in Inverclyde already indexed free of charge. This does not break any wiki policies. In fact even if it were purely commercial it would still have some relevence and I quote: "Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any organizations and does not set up affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Furthermore, those interested in promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so."

Now you stop deleting my entry as you do not own the page, only the content you wrote. If you delete it again I will push this to a dispute. Why are you being against me when I am trying to raise the web status of Inverclyde? Why don't you rather get involved rather than selfish. This is the whole problem in Inverclyde.


 * Your site offers advertising and is therefore commercial. I've removed it again -- please do take this to a dispute if you think we're being harsh, but Wikipedia's policies on external links are quite clear. If you are thinking of getting arbitration, it might be an idea to prepare examples of the content relevant to this article on your site. Jonobennett (talk) 09:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
