link additions[edit]

Hi, I see you do a large number of link additions on wikipedia. I see the links are good and on topic, but I would like you to stop adding links for the moment, and read some of our policies and guidelines, spec. the conflict of interest guideline, the spam guideline, 'what wikipedia is not' policy (spec. 'Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files', 'Wikipedia is not a soapbox', and 'Wikipedia is not a directory') (summarised in WP:BFAQ).

As the links seem to be to a library, it would appear to me that most of these links could be used to add content to the wikipedia, with references to the documents in the library (see the citation guideline, the reliable sources guideline and the footnotes guideline).

If you have further questions, please ask! --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 17:37, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sasha, please start to discuss. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 17:50, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

our rules on this are clear: the bar for adding such resources is very high. There are justified examples of doing so, of course, and they have to be examined individually. There's a better solution, of course: to get copyright release for the first page of a manuscript, put a GFDL tag on a web illustration, and add it to commons. The legends will then show the institution. Adding these otherwise requires prior consensus on the article talk page, which might be obtainable for some of them. Do this right, befits your library.
