Talk:Mini-Z
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Britt from AtomicMods.com here. I changed the line: "They can be modified quite extensively with parts both from Kyosho Corporation and from aftermarket suppliers like PNracing or Atomic RC or AtomicMods.com." which used to read that AtomicMods.com was primarily an XMODS outfit. AtomicMods is no longer primarily an XMODS outfit since we now import specialty products for Mini-Zs as well as manufacture some of our own billet aluminum and electronics parts for Mini-Zs. This is a relatively minor edit, but I don't want to unfairly discourage people from searching for Mini-Z upgrades through AtomicMods as the original text did. Smight2007 18:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
The link I added is a fan based site. I don't see why it shouldn't be added. It expands the interest in the Mini-Z so I believe there is a point in adding the link. My username and the website is the same, and yes I did create it, however, it is basically a fan based site which I believe others should be able to view. There's no money involved so I don't believe this is any sort of advertisement. Wedginator 01:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I believe the link: wedginator.com is legitimate to this article. First off, it contains information about the only Mini-Z track in Toronto. There is a lot of information regarding the Mini-Z that this link should be added. Wedginator 23:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
This article needs a picture. Someone wanna take a picture of their Mini-Z and upload it? I would, but I don't own one. Nickm78 04:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Based on WP:COI you really shouldn't add the link without consensus from other editors. That aside, I will repeat some of the problems with the links that I posted on your talk page:
- The links themselves, they violate the external link guidelines (WP:External links) in a number of ways:
- It is basically a personal site with components of a forum and blog. All of these elements are discouraged against in the external link guidelines. (Violates 3 "Links to avoid" guidelines)
- It is a general site linked on articles about specific topics. This violates the guideline about links being directly related to the article.
- Wikipedia is not a repository of external links (WP:NOT) - and while the site might be useful to its base of users, it does not supply the quantity and detail of material that warrant inclusion under the external link guidelines. Nposs 01:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
This is in response to the comment above. First of all all sites have specific topics. Second, the site I added doesn't have links to other articles. Every website is unique and has different amount of information. I can see that the websites that sell things are allowed. They are in violation of the advertising guidelines. Why not delete that too? Also, it doesn't matter if it's a personal website or not. A website that will help expand this hobby helps. The hobby is small enough, and if the links keep getting deleted then the hobby will never expand. Please stop vandalising this article by deleting usefull links. Wedginator 01:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
Haven't touched this article in a while, and looking at it now I notice that it seems to need a lot of work on the tone. I've gone and tagged it as such. Nickm78 19:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
