Ahoy Excirial, I confess I am somewhat confused and quite new to editing in wiki. I apologise in advance if I do not follow protocol 100%! I tried to add some useful info to the page 'folding boat' as I consider the current version extremely bias to the point where it is a diatribe about Porta Bote which is by no means the only folding boat on the market. I sell the Origami and Fliptail dinghies on line and they are extremely popular so I do not understand why my added paragraph about them was removed. Perhaps you could explain to me why I am not allowed to post useful information when the current article might as well be an advert for Porta Bote with half a dozen direct links to their site! I tried to cite a video which gives visual evidence of a claim I made in my paragraph, that of the speed attained with a 3.3hp engine. When my paragraph was first removed, I though maybe it was the You Tube link (although I checked first and was informed that it was OK to link to You tube) so I removed it and tried again but then you took it down. It seems that the page as it stands is acceptable but I can't for the life of me see why. I feel that it is poorly written, bias, one sided, lacking in useful facts and certainly could include information about many more folding boats.

To link to an article, all you have to do is place the article title [[in double brackets like this]].
Regarding pages mentioning products: The prescence of mistakes in some articles does not justify more mistakes. There are many more articles than there are editors watching the articles, so not everything is going to be perfect. Wikipedia is not to be used for advertising or promotion of any sort, but may neutrally summarize what reliable third party sources (which excludes self-published sources like pay-to-print books, press releases, blogs, or the subject's own pages) say about notable subjects (basically, it has to have received national or international attention from multiple sources which do not profit from the subject in any way). WP:EL describes what should or should not be linked to. I have removed the entire "manufacturers" section from the article Laser (dinghy) because it violated WP:ELNO #14. I have done what I can to remove the spam from Dinghy and Folding kayak as well. Ian.thomson ( talk) 21:51, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
