User talk:Robvanbasten

The website http://www.csposi.org is a website where the use of CSP (concentrated Solar Power) is discussed. Furthermore its goal is to bring people together to work towards practical open source CSP application. Since this is a noncommercial, nonprofit open source initiative I don't think that the term advertising is appropriate. But.. that’s off cause up to you,

Thank you, — Robvanbasten (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * It doesn't matter--being noncommercial, That doesn't confer a license to spam even when it's true, and these sites are often trying to sell something even if the business is organized as a nonprofit. Linking to sites for the purpose of using Wikipedia to promote that site are Never appropriate.--Hu12 00:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
