I noticed that you edited out my external link. I believe that it is a legitimate link for the following reasons:
1. Many other places (cities and countries) have links referring them to travel guides which are useful for that area, as they contain information regarding that area which is not included in the article. Hence there should be no reason why my link to the Rough Guides website should be any different. Unlike many others, the Rough Guides website does not have extensive advertising on it, but rather, it provides a large degree of useful travel information.
2. As you are probably aware WikiTravel has a number of external links referring people to their own travel guide. In the Sofia example, I added an external link as Wikitravel has failed to do so for this location. Surely if adding external links can be done to a series of other locations such as New York by Wikitravel, it should not be restricted for less well known places?
3. The fact that there are links to Wikitravel would suggest that information regarding travel is considered to be appropriate for the Wikipedia website.
I fully understand that there is a need to prevent people from merely advertising on Wikipedia, as this is not it's purpose. However, I hope you will agree with me that in this example, it is not a matter of advertising, but of providing a highly important link that is legitimate as it has a basis in precedent.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Germany. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors.

Why did you delete my addition to the page on Roberto Baggio regarding his brief and not widely known stint as an adult film star. Although this is a somewhat shadowy part of his checkered career, I believe that it is important to be proud of the entirity of the life journeys of our heroes, as the highs and lows have led them to superstardom. With Baggio, one such low was when he was performing 'The Baggio" in order to solve his then growing financial difficulties. Let's not hide from it, but rather use it to inspire us to lift ourselves up much like Baggio has.
On a broader note, I notice you have a penchant for deleting the pages of other users based on your own judgments. Quick question - how do you apply for the position of "Supreme Chancellor of Wikipedia", as I believe I would be suited to this position as well.
Stop changing my Roberto Baggio page. It's credibility is for the admins to decide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfol2258 ( talk • contribs)
I do not wish to enter into any discussion on this issue, however sometimes things need to be named by their real names: someone who takes pleasure in taking all the trouble and change psi into pi (serving no apparent purpose but turning a text confusing) cannot be mentally sound --- the nature of the change suggests that it must be the work of the same person, editing from different sites. I therefore do not understand your objection; at the same time, as mentioned above, I do not wish to become involved in any discussion regarding this matter which is no one's problem except that of this deranged man or woman. --BF 13:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Please, don't be an ignorant watchdog. e.g., If you remove some useful Congo related news link, which I posted, why don't you remove some others "commercial links" from that page too?! Selective criteria or what? Also, I saw that you "automatically" removed some old external links related to some South-Slavic bookstore and some South-Slavic authors. What do you really know about related topics and usefulness of that links? Did you discuss removing of that links with anyone? Now, I'll revert your changes and place the links back and if it's necessary I'll gladly be watchdog for your contribs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.52.172.231 ( talk • contribs)
Well, thanks for the clarifications! The whole intention of adding and reverting some of the external links (pointed especially to Gerila) was in good faith that it may be useful for a relatively small, English speaking audience interested in such "exotic" non-English topics. As about "conflict of interest", unfortunately, I'm only regular visitor and occasional Gerila customer. btw, I didn't know that Gerila has a seat in Ljubljana, Slovenia?!? I thought it is a Serbo-Croatian bookstore from Belgrade, Serbia.

Great picture of the bronze horse! I have moved it from the Leonardo article, as it really isn't his work, and there are a great number of pics all demanding space. (I've been very selective). You photo now has a space and a blurb on the page mentioned above, but the whole story of the horse is very interesting and I think that it warrants a separate article showing a number of Leonardo's drawings, as well as the bronze recreation.
I've also been to the commons page and rewritten the info there in a way that starts with the fact that it is a recreation, rather than a statement that it is Leonardo's horse, and then says that it isn't really.
There are several ways of describing such objects:- copy, reproduction, recreation, restoration, forgery, fake and "in the style of". This is specifically a recreation, not a reproduction or any of the other things.
I'm a bit busy on a couple of other things, but I'll get back to the horse article. Can you dig up info as to how the bronze horse came to be made? Can you digitally crop your photo? The problem with this, and other landscape photos is that you have to make them wide in order to enlarge th central bit, which is the feature here. The present format would need to be made very large, perhaps 500pix, in order to give a feeling for how big the horse is, but if you crop it to a more squarish shape, then a 250 pix photo is going to make the horse look enormous, which is what one wants.

Thanks for proof reading the article. It's much appreciated. Looking at the history of the "dead pixel" and "stuck pixel" articles, I'm not expecting a lot of feedback from others apart from the two of us. I'll give it a week or so and then I'm going to make the changes. I'm still pondering which is the best option though (1) replacing the "dead pixel" article or (2) creating a new "defective pixel" article. Any arguments in favor or against either option, that might help to decide which way to go, would also be appreciated. ʍαμ$ʏ5043 09:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Van... I'm a newb to wikipedia and trying to figure out why you removed the picture of the 2008 Ninja 250R from the Ninja 250 page. There's clearly a picture of the pre-2008 model directly from the Kawasaki web site that was submitted in the same manner. Is there another way to classify the submitted picture that would allow it to remain on the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssewell ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm... it's not public domain, but it is definitely intended to be distributed for promotional/media relation purposes, as clearly defined on the kawasakimedia.com web site. I think its important to include this image on the Ninja 250 page since it accurately represents the current 2008 model of this motorcycle as the manufacturer sees it.
Copy and past this into sandbox, I am not sure how this works or how the format works in the article [[Image:Precum.JPG|300px|]] Gum-tree-chopper 02:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
Regarding the edit of Fred Bauder ( talk · contribs) at User talk:Dattorro, please note that he has recently deleted several of Dattorro's edits, as they contained my real name and home address. The edit you reverted was actually Dattorro's, however Fred deleted the edit record; his nominal edit is what you see now.
Hope this makes sense!

Thomjakobsen 21:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Dear Mrs./Mr. Van Helsing and Mr. Jakobsen, To my humble opinion, you are both sustaining the widespread confusion about the root cause of lacking unity in the European Union. Not only by just mixing two totally different lemmas, but also by obscuring the first Wikipedia objective of spreading knowledge worldwide in respect of the right to understand and take part without the need to have to represent oneself. Referring to my real time acts in Houston during the Enron trial to 'clear things up', makes you an ignorant watchdog and "someone who takes pleasure in taking all the trouble to change psi into pi", and cannot be mentally sound (See above -other talk / I like the expression very much). This being no encyclopedia but the Wikipedia, I suggest you concentrate on willful abuse and bad faith, like the way I research energy- and P3-related crime, just for the common cause and public greater good. If you don't understand complex matter, I suggest to visit my website in order to better understand the post-war root cause for public-private chaos and realted bad conduct... and please refrain from preventing people to take notice of this lemma of EuropeanUnity being the missing link in the European constellation of opposing and conflicting interests -or to review and /or edit it. Wikipedia is a high-quality-pedia " in a spirit of mutual respect and is not censured". So give people a chance to learn and know what they see and to 'read' what they look for, in order to know tact from fact. My views and analyses are based on facts and of firsthand source: compare key-document 'La Condition Americaine' on www.xxell.com, the global encyclopidea. The European evolutionary thinking about the energy-transition from 'Coal and Steel' into a global natural gas-economy should not be censured by yourselves. I think it is an insult to term my honest efforts as musings, clearly nonsense and repetition of thoughts as if there were no real development, sound progress or effective innovation whatsoever. I am convinced that it is people like you that prevent responsible development and sustainable globalization of coordinated understanding and cooperation. I am sure you cannot bear that responsibility and don't even want to account for, seeing the costs and damages you provoke. You are not only waisting your own energy, but other people's efforts as well. This should stop a.s.a.p..

Sorry to bring this up when it was such a long time ago, but back in July you modified the opening definition in the article sales [4] [5], but you didn't change the citation for the definition. Do you remember where you got the definition from? I don't want to revert the definition back to what it was if you have a better citation, but right now the definition doesn't agree with the citation. Could you take a look at it? -- • • • Blue Pixel 22:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
I just caught up with the deletion of my contribution to the Byrdcliffe Colony entry and was hoping that the decision could be revisited. I thought readers would benefit from knowing where the Byrdcliffe archive is located and so included a note about it in the text, saying where it was, and an external link to the online index of the archive. The archive is a unique resource and should benefit readers of the Byrdcliffe Wikipedia entry if they are interested in further information or research. The link was to an official site, a site “with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article,” to quote Wikipedia’s guidelines. Plus, it contains “neutral and accurate material.” It is “informative, factual, etc.” and the link is functional and will remain so. Perhaps simply note the external link without anything in the text? Thank you. Ermcki ( talk) 20:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm a bit busy on a couple of other things, but I'll get back to the horse article. Can you dig up info as to how the bronze horse came to be made? Can you digitally crop your photo? The problem with this, and other landscape photos is that you have to make them wide in order to enlarge th central bit, which is the feature here. The present format would need to be made very large, perhaps 500pix, in order to give a feeling for how big the horse is, but if you crop it to a more squarish shape, then a 250 pix photo is going to make the horse look enormous, which is what one wants.

In the List of countries by future GDP, we have 2006 still there. What's your opinion on removing the historical parts? Chanakyathegreat 15:39, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Noticed that you removed the link to map.org.pl with the comment it's a Google maps clone. We will add airport, tourist, city and photographs the following months. Can we put the link back up again at that time? Regards, Mada —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.73.76.187 ( talk) 11:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok, thank for your answer. I wasn't familiar with the proces to propose an inclusion on the talk page first. Thank you for explaining. I will do that in a few weeks. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.73.76.187 ( talk) 11:49, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for proof reading the article. It's much appreciated. Looking at the history of the "dead pixel" and "stuck pixel" articles, I'm not expecting a lot of feedback from others apart from the two of us. I'll give it a week or so and then I'm going to make the changes. I'm still pondering which is the best option though (1) replacing the "dead pixel" article or (2) creating a new "defective pixel" article. Any arguments in favor or against either option, that might help to decide which way to go, would also be appreciated. ʍαμ$ʏ5043 09:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I understand your comment about not wanting to divert readers away from Wikipedia, however why would then there even be a need for external links? I am the founder of the american revolutionary war site which is one of the most commonly used research tools among grammer and high schools on the internet if you review media metrics. http://www.google.com/search?q=%22theamericanrevolution.org%22&hl=en&rlz=1T4GGLG_en___US230&start=10&sa=N
The content I have I personally think enhances the material presented in Wikipedia with information regarding the individual battles of this historic time in our history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jtl6713 ( talk • contribs) 18:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Van... I'm a newb to wikipedia and trying to figure out why you removed the picture of the 2008 Ninja 250R from the Ninja 250 page. There's clearly a picture of the pre-2008 model directly from the Kawasaki web site that was submitted in the same manner. Is there another way to classify the submitted picture that would allow it to remain on the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssewell ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm... it's not public domain, but it is definitely intended to be distributed for promotional/media relation purposes, as clearly defined on the kawasakimedia.com web site. I think its important to include this image on the Ninja 250 page since it accurately represents the current 2008 model of this motorcycle as the manufacturer sees it.
Copy and past this into sandbox, I am not sure how this works or how the format works in the article [[Image:Precum.JPG|300px|]] Gum-tree-chopper 02:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
Regarding the edit of Fred Bauder ( talk · contribs) at User talk:Dattorro, please note that he has recently deleted several of Dattorro's edits, as they contained my real name and home address. The edit you reverted was actually Dattorro's, however Fred deleted the edit record; his nominal edit is what you see now.
Hope this makes sense!

These links might clear up some of the confusion: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Complexxon and [3] (second-last paragraph). I'm probably not the best person to list it for deletion since he's convinced I have a hidden agenda and accused me of "informationterror" when I reverted his hijacking of the European Unity redirect: User_talk:64.69.127.105... Thomjakobsen 21:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Dear Mrs./Mr. Van Helsing and Mr. Jakobsen, To my humble opinion, you are both sustaining the widespread confusion about the root cause of lacking unity in the European Union. Not only by just mixing two totally different lemmas, but also by obscuring the first Wikipedia objective of spreading knowledge worldwide in respect of the right to understand and take part without the need to have to represent oneself. Referring to my real time acts in Houston during the Enron trial to 'clear things up', makes you an ignorant watchdog and "someone who takes pleasure in taking all the trouble to change psi into pi", and cannot be mentally sound (See above -other talk / I like the expression very much). This being no encyclopedia but the Wikipedia, I suggest you concentrate on willful abuse and bad faith, like the way I research energy- and P3-related crime, just for the common cause and public greater good. If you don't understand complex matter, I suggest to visit my website in order to better understand the post-war root cause for public-private chaos and realted bad conduct... and please refrain from preventing people to take notice of this lemma of EuropeanUnity being the missing link in the European constellation of opposing and conflicting interests -or to review and /or edit it. Wikipedia is a high-quality-pedia " in a spirit of mutual respect and is not censured". So give people a chance to learn and know what they see and to 'read' what they look for, in order to know tact from fact. My views and analyses are based on facts and of firsthand source: compare key-document 'La Condition Americaine' on www.xxell.com, the global encyclopidea. The European evolutionary thinking about the energy-transition from 'Coal and Steel' into a global natural gas-economy should not be censured by yourselves. I think it is an insult to term my honest efforts as musings, clearly nonsense and repetition of thoughts as if there were no real development, sound progress or effective innovation whatsoever. I am convinced that it is people like you that prevent responsible development and sustainable globalization of coordinated understanding and cooperation. I am sure you cannot bear that responsibility and don't even want to account for, seeing the costs and damages you provoke. You are not only waisting your own energy, but other people's efforts as well. This should stop a.s.a.p..

Sorry to bring this up when it was such a long time ago, but back in July you modified the opening definition in the article sales [4] [5], but you didn't change the citation for the definition. Do you remember where you got the definition from? I don't want to revert the definition back to what it was if you have a better citation, but right now the definition doesn't agree with the citation. Could you take a look at it? -- • • • Blue Pixel 22:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
I just caught up with the deletion of my contribution to the Byrdcliffe Colony entry and was hoping that the decision could be revisited. I thought readers would benefit from knowing where the Byrdcliffe archive is located and so included a note about it in the text, saying where it was, and an external link to the online index of the archive. The archive is a unique resource and should benefit readers of the Byrdcliffe Wikipedia entry if they are interested in further information or research. The link was to an official site, a site “with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article,” to quote Wikipedia’s guidelines. Plus, it contains “neutral and accurate material.” It is “informative, factual, etc.” and the link is functional and will remain so. Perhaps simply note the external link without anything in the text? Thank you. Ermcki ( talk) 20:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I dunno... I was ambivalent but decided to put the template, and leave the user talk page intact (He added the same message to both pages). If he is considered banned, he is not really entitled to a user page. -- lucasbfr talk 09:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
