Spam
I have reverted your edits to..well all of your edits. You won't find a bigger fan than me for cuetable.com I use it all the time; a wonderful resource. Nevertheless, your addition of it in billiards articles is not appropriate. It functions as spam, advertising the site, which is not compatible with our aims as an encyclopedia. There are multiple issues involved. The image has the logo of the site and its web address. This is far to "advertisy" for here. You may or may not be an owner of that site, but you appear to be violating the site's copyright with that image, which would have to be released into the public domain or under a free license in order to be used here. This protects both us and cuetable.com All of our content must be freely redistributable; able to be used and modified by others. As for just the link, it does not appear to meet our external link guideline. A demonstration site is great for teaching pool and demonstrating shots, but it doesn't provide a unique resource for teaching us the history of eight ball, straight pool, etc. which is what the articles are for and what any associated external links should be about. Quoting from the link I provided, at its subsection on "links to be avoided:" "Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article." Best of luck to you.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
