 * Note, I deleted your contributions you made to Soulard, St. Louis per Wikipedia policy WP:NOTDIRECTORY. I hope to see you can find other ways to expand and elaborate on an article that forms such an important part of the history of St. Louis. --Millbrooky (talk) 22:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

 * So, the list I added did include famouse places of Soulard. Soulard is a unique area.  Was it deleted because I included phone numbers?

 * The inclusion of phone numbers is what tipped me off right away, but the entire list is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia, afterall, is not the Yellow Pages. It would be another thing if every one of those places was notable enough to merit its own article, something almost none of them do. Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C. is an example of what I believe is a decent neighborhood article that the Soulard article should aspire towards. --Millbrooky (talk) 02:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 19:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
