Summary:
Shaftesburytown.co.uk is Shaftesbury's only community owned and run website and is working in co-operation with most orginisations in the town to improve tourism, community info and history for the town online. I feel its the only one that should be linked from wikipedia from the Shaftesbury page (since the other 2 shaftesbury sites are commerical, IE charge for advertising, and one of those is claiming to be offical when no site could make that claim of a town unless it was directly owned by the town and open to public review, and the other is very new and only was made to get back at the council when a very shady deal feel to peices when members of the public uncovered acts of negligence and possible coruption. As for the Gold hill page, well gold hill is IN shaftesbury, and King alfred was not only very important for the town but this website (shaftesburytown.co.uk) was responsible for helping correct factual errors in the wikipeida page about him and is working with the Town abby to add significant new information about him which will be on both shaftesburytown.co.uk and given to wikipeida.

This user does not know what hes is talking about and is vandalising our pages. Thank you for your help I love wikipedia and hate to see people trying to damage pages whatever the reason.
