One thing to consider about IMSLP (and probably the others) is that it's not just the original works -- transcriptions and arranagements are also available. Also, those sites have scores that are completely PD or otherwise free (libre), and can be used however anyone wants, which both shares the 'mission' of Wikipedia, and isn't true I'm almost positive of the NMA. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ ( talk) 21:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
With the amount of deletionists that I've come across (primarily in the disgusting German-language version of wikipedia - you wouldn't believe what kind of hardhitting, non-compromising people you'd come across!), one could conclude that the 'mission' of wikipedia is "people giving each other a hard time". I'm grateful that the english wikipedia seems a bit more lenient, regarding external links and stuff. (Lets hope this last sentence is really true, and - if so - remains such!)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See
the external links guideline and
spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the
nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.

I've wikified it further, following my comments above. -- Ronz ( talk) 18:52, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello again "MySorAccount", and sorry for getting hot tempered in responce to your "criticism";) You had some very good arguments (although a bit harsh?) against the inclusion of my portal as an external link. With limited computer knowledge I am not able to include "peer-review" as an internal part of my site, but I´ve added a wiki that I hope might be able to adress your concerns (See news on classicalguitarist.info).

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your
disruptive edits. The next time you insert a
spam link, you may be
blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites
blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all
Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. --

I hope we're clear what I think of your repeated addition of promotional links. If you want to discuss relevant policies and guidelines, do so in the proper venue such as WP:ELN. -- Ronz ( talk) 18:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
To clarify further, this is exactly the type of improper external links that we discussed above. -- Ronz ( talk) 19:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
