Talk:Silent Disco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not sure I'd call the second link exactly helpful.

[edit] web site

80.41.238.106 (talk) 12:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I run Headset Disco, a new company. Can I get a link on the page please? My web site is www.headsetdisco.com email info@headsetdisco.com Best wishes

No, I don't think your website is suitable for linking. It has no content which can be said to be suitable reference material. (It also is optimized for use by Internet Explorer, by the way... if you want your site to appeal to the 'technorati', you should look into using a web author who writes code that adheres to the official specifications, so it works on all browsers.) However, you might have good look exchanging links with some other sites. If you had a 'links' page... User:Pedant (talk) 20:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting external link

I have noticed that there is a bit of an edit war going on, with one particular external link being replaced and removed repeatedly. What is happening with this link? The Baroness of Morden (talk) 11:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Please see WP:ELNO for the types of external links not permitted in Wikipedia. Those that are commercial are included. Instead of constantly undoing edits, could those involved in this edit war please discuss the issues surrounding the removal of the links in question? That would be more helpful than just undoing other people's edits. The Baroness of Morden (talk) 10:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Might I suggest that a solution would be to remove all three links and insist that any other links to relevant media are hosted on non-commercial platforms and feature no company names or branding? If the User really doesn't have commercial interests at heart then I do not see how or why he/she would not be prepared to accept this solution.

Sounds like a good plan my way of looking at it is show them all (hence why i always restored all the links) or show none--Bigruzzy (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

If there are just a very few suppliers, I see no reason not to list a link to each of them provided that the link is to a page that discusses the technology used for silent discos rather than just a sales page. Wikipedia links to sources of information relevant to the Wikipedicle in question, rather than sources of products. Wikipedia is not a linkfarm or list of links, it is an online reference to previously published information from reliable sources. Manufacturers and vendors, if you want Wikipedia to link to you, provide some reference content of use to our readers, and if it is up to our standards, one of our editors will find it and link to it.
