A contributor has added links to
http://www.countryguide.com/ on many pages
(see
http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&targe…t=65.
41.45.22 ) I don't think the links are particularly useful, they just lead
to more links and this just seems like advertising to me. I'm inclined to
remove them all, but am not sure enough to do so without checking first.
What is policy on links like these?
I agree, when this person first started adding them, it was even
worse, but I (along with another user or two) worked out a reasonable
compromise that let the links stay without being as POV as they were at
first (I think it revolved around use of a word like "excellent" to
describe it, and one other phrase). I'd really rather not see them at all,
but I didn't want to be too heavy-handed in refusing "contributions"
either (especially as I wasn't a sysop then). So I wouldn't be too
saddened by their loss.
