[edit] Proposed External Link

Hello to anyone interested in EP. I am seeking to list an external link with out running afoul of WP rules. The site is called Environmentality and consists of a monthly, rigorously screened summary of recent EP related research and news from specialized journals and other sources. The justification for this site is that it would be impossible for anyone to stay informed on all the journals and news sources covered therein.

I believe that this site is extremely useful for everyone in the EP community, but then again I am also its editor and publisher. Apparently this disqualifies me from listing the site as an external link. So I am asking for anyone to have a look and then add the external link. Here is the link html which can be copied and pasted directly into the external link editing window: *Enviromentality.

I appreciate your consideration.

I have removed the link again as obvious self-promotion by the above. If others feel it should be linked, OK - but not by an anon promoter of the site. Vsmith (talk) 22:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Follow up from A. Cherson:Please excuse my misunderstanding of the rules. From my vantage point, I kept seeing external links appearing and reappearing and I believed that this was simply the action of other users such as myself taking matters into their own hands. Plus I did not understand that self-listing even an informational, non-commercial site could be considered self-promotional. This is why I instituted a regular routine of re-inserting my links on the relevant entries. Then when I realized that each article actually has an authorized editor/guardian and that what I was doing was wrong, I tried to adhere to the rules by asking others to approve my site. It appears that by that time my actions had caused me to come under suspicion and I may have been blocked (not sure if this is still the case). In any case what I ask is that you allow me to start from scratch and I will use only acceptable routes for having an external link listed. Your data should show that I have not attempted to insert my site since around the end of March. Thank you.
