Your userpage
Other Wikipedias probably have different guidelines, but would you please read WP:USERPAGE, the information on "Writings, information, discussions, and activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals". Obviously you can mention your religion there, but the rest is really inappropriate. I've tagged the page as a userpage, but I'd appreciate it if you'd remove the religious material. Thanks.

 * I would find it respectful if I got the chance to sort it out myself, in stead of finding it done for me by User:Drmies. I do understand that it was not according the guidelines. I never read them before. So just pointing out would have been sufficient. I do ask though to leave the ones, that are there now, be. I use them to quickly find the answers I'm looking for. (although I admit not being very active the last two years.) Kind regards, Ro de Jong (Talk to me!) 23:44, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Most people use bookmarks&mdash;a function built into web browsers&mdash;for links to frequently visited sites. It seems unlikely that putting them on your User page is more convenient, particularly if you're not very active on Wikipedia. It therefore seems that there is still a promotional element to those links.-- Jeffro 77 (talk) 01:40, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Not at all.
 * I might not write much, I use it very much when reading up about JW. I allways want to have my facts correct, and I have therefor always Wikipedia open as first tab in my browser. There is nothing promotional about it by the way, as my user page doesn't generate much traffic, which an oversight would prove me right. ;)
 * It's just easy to have it all on one page for me when browsing for references. As to show that I don't mean it as promotion, I shortened the links to something I know what it is.

 * How about putting it on a subpage? User:Rodejong/JW links for instance? A lot of us use subpages for stuff like that. Dougweller (talk) 07:59, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It's a nice suggestion, but isn't it a bit over the top to ask users to remove all links from a userpage?
 * I can make a collaps box to hide it for others. Kind regards, Ro de Jong (Talk to me!) 11:15, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Brilliant idea. Better than mine. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 15:28, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * You're welcome :-) Kind regards, Ro de Jong (Talk to me!) 18:32, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
