Hello, I'm MrOllie. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hi MrOllie, thanks for letting me know. If you don't mind me asking, why did you think it was inappropriate? It doesn't seem that different or less useful than the other links to me. It's an online radio station specialising in drone music; I listen to it all the time when I study so I thought it'd be a useful addition to any other visitors of the page, since it's the best resource I know of online to get a taste of what drone music is like. Any particular guideline you feel this was violating?

I'm not personally affiliated in any way with somafm, not that it should matter of course since it's not a commercial site;

with the exception of some listeners really liking it and individually deciding to support its server costs, I don't see a way of it generating revenue to them, if this is the grounds on which you felt it was inappropriate.

Also, I feel it's clear that the link is not an advertisement since it's a specialised streaming free radio for drone music, making it the most appropriate external link here; compared to the other two links, the second is a decent resource but a pain to navigate, and the first one is paywalled! --Tpapastylianou (talk) 04:21, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
