I would like to request that the following link be added to the external links section: http://www.pigeonforge.com/areainfo/pigeon_forge_area_information.asp

The site does feature commercials, but the majority of content, particularly on the page I request a link to, is information of value to persons interested in vacationing in the Pigeon Forge area. The information presented includes contact information for hospitals, churches, and public recreation facilities. Along with paid advertisements, the site contains a calendar of events that is constantly updated. I created the page and maintain that the information it presents is valuable to individuals interested in vacationing in Pigeon Forge.

Please see WP:EL for out guidelines on external links. Briefly, you shouldn't add links to your own site. If it's worthwhile someone else will do so. Also, I saw you deleted another link, which doesn't seem very sporting either. -Will Beback · † · 20:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I object to your disparaging remark. Yes, I replaced my own link you removed earlier. I then deleted it myself after I read your message referring me to the policy, which I was formerly unaware of. I now understand after reading the policy that individuals who own or act as agents for a site must not add their own links. This is why I deleted the link I added and subsequently made my request in the discussion area to add the link. In the past I also deleted a link to a storytelling festival at mypigeonforge.com. I deleted it because it seemed unreasonable that one festival among many in the Pigeon Forge area should be highlighted. Other than these two, I do not recall any other deletions I have made.

I haven't made any disparaging remarks. If I've unintentionally offended you I apologize. -Will Beback · † · 21:26, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The town's name more likely comes from the Little Pigeon River that runs through the area.

[edit] is there a listing for lodging in pigeon forge?

I could not find a listing for any types of lodging in Pigeon Forge, TN? Is there a reason for this? 66.191.249.177 06:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
