User talk:Mfd38wx

Welcome
Hi, Mfd38wx. I saw your note on the Millis article. Thanks for changing your username. I wanted to let you know that I decided to remove your external link again because I do not believe it is consistent with the encyclopedic style. I hope to give you a bit longer rationale than I initially did in my edit summary. As with most wikis, we have some rules that we try to uphold - one of them covers external links. It's a long set of guidelines, but the basic idea is that external links must be kept minimal, and they must supplement the content of the article itself. The problem with the link you provided, in my humble opinion, is that as a weather resource it does not directly follow the article's content, and it is not consistent with the interests of a worldwide audience. While the website may indeed be a service to Millis residents, our job as encyclopedists is not to service the subjects of which we write. Our job is to service readers from all over the globe, who would have little use for detailed weather conditions of a distant community. This is why the link was removed. I am, however, not the ultimate authority on the matter, and you are welcome to ask other editors for their opinion on the article's talk page. If you do so, however, you may be interested in reviewing this discussion on this topic and our policy that reminds us not to create that which resembles a newspaper. Feel free to leave a note here if you have any questions. NTox · talk 04:51, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
