[edit] Linkspam and references

I believe the consistent links to their sites being added by certain folks who sell reborn dolls are linkspam. See WP:LINKSPAM. "Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam. Although the specific links may be allowed under some circumstances, repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed." See also WP:CONFLICT regarding conflict of interest: "Conflict of interest often presents itself in the form of self-promotion, including advertising links, personal website links, personal or semi-personal photos, or other material that appears to promote the private or commercial interests of the editor, or their associates." I have removed the linkspam; none of it seemed particularly notable on its own.

Regarding references, the only reference given was a link to a 3 minute excerpt of a Channel 4 documentary. I watched it, and it didn't really serve as a good reference here; it's just the intro to the show so it doesn't really say much other than that these dolls exist. So I moved it to an External Links section and added a request for better references. I don't know how easy they are to find, though. ManekiNeko | Talk 09:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
