[edit] Transwoman links

Hi, your link might have been considered helpful to someone but as it's to a commercial space (that is selling images and porn related experience) its value is lessened. To improve the article we would need a something more like a supoort groups site that isn't also trying to sell us something.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Transwoman. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. - Alison ☺ 04:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The article was redirected from searching for SHEMALE. The link is valid because most shemales are in the adult industry. The site is free and has refering affiliate links often mandatory by use agreement with the producers. There are no popups on my site and the producers are reviewed by me. All profit goes to support the expenses of the site. People who search for shemale are not interested in the medical issues of transgender disphoria. Shemales are not to be pushed aside and erased from history because of shame of adult film work or resentment from the transvestite or crossdresser clique due to their beauty. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.167.72.171 (talk • contribs)

  • "My" site? Unfortunately, that add conflict of interest to the picture. The term 'shemale' tends to pejorative in itself and is constantly coming up here on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, it's a commercial link, profits or no, and Wikipedia is not a collection of links. Nor is it a vehicle for touting your own website. Sorry. If you insist on re-adding it all the time, as you are, it'll end up on the blacklist and will be effectively banned from the entire range of wikis. - Alison ☺ 05:30, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

You say "The term 'shemale' tends to pejorative in itself and is constantly coming up here on Wikipedia." Thats seems so judgemental for an impartial editor, I get enough of that from everyone else. I am not trying to fight you or wiki. It just seems that shemale has been hijacked by a segment of the trans community that hates the shemale sub segment. I am not greedy or a spammer. I figured it would have been 10 seconds before someone took it down. Gays are better than transgenders, transgenders are holier than shemales. After they put up all the medical links in the shemale catagory I figured why ban the real shemlae link. Yes, I now know you technical policies. I don't know if you will find real shemale content if you filter it so much. It comes up so much, as you say, because thats what people want. They dont want to be redirected to transwomen. Any shemale links are going to be highly adult or total pay sites unless you list some myspace pages or something. I am unsure if you are TS or TG but I read you have an education in endocrinology. If I can not edit my own link into a site then pehaps you can write a page that explains shemale or transsexual better than putting it with transgender with links and info.

Regards, Nadia

  • I'm not being judgemental there, I'm stating facts. Take a look. The Shemale article went through AfD and ended up being a merge-and-redirect to Transwoman, something I voted against, but community consensus prevails. I've no interest in the politics of the matter, to be honest, nor am I transgendered. However, all that aside, your link fails on a number of levels, as I've already pointed out. If you think the page is incorrect right now or biased in some way, maybe bring it up on Talk:Transwoman and see if it can be changed? You're totally free to have your opinions known over there - Alison ☺ 09:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
