[edit] Commercial websites

I have twice removed www.glastonbury.co.uk from this wiki article. It says it is run by a not for profit company, yet it still charges local business for listings on the site. This makes it a commercial website and therefore it should not be permitted in the external links section. Furthermore it doesn't add any significant value to the article. Opinions? --Cheesy Mike 12:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

User Cooltunes has been indefinitely blocked from Wikipedia for repeatedly listing the Avalon Connections website on this article. Spammers should not be tolerated on Wikipedia and we should all remove spam links then warn / report the offenders. --TimTay (talk) 14:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History and Mythology

I am not quite sure why these items are included in such a way!Harrypotter (talk) 23:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] William Blake

The connection between William Blake's poem and the legend that Christ came to Glastonbury doesn't really work. Blake's poem is a rhetorical question expecting the answer "no". He isn't saying "I once heard that Jesus came to England...I wonder if it is true?" but "Was Jesus born in England? Was Jerusalem built here? No, of course not!"Andrew Rilstone (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

You could edit the article to reflect this, particularly if you have references to support the view from Reliable sources.— Rod ^talk 17:28, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] British Isles

Reverted Great Britain to British Isles as the Joseph legend relates to the founding of the Celtic church, which really was present throughout the British Isles and cannot be understood except on this basis. The 'British' in Britsh Isles refers to the Ancient Britons, and so in this case should be uncontroversial. MAG1 (talk) 11:19, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
