Please read WP EL I know it s long but a lot of the issues you seem to have are with it and not me or my editing here Since the Ad Council has an official website Twitter Facebook etc run afoul of WP ELNO Only one of the two archive links actually go somewhere as the other is a dead link WP ELDEAD When I visited the Illinois link before removing it it seemed mostly to be a resource for people visiting the archive and not actually making archival information available online It was the link I was most unsure of removing but have no problem with it being put back in Your accusations of not exercising any judgement are rude and unfounded As you have obviously agreed with all but two of my removals for Ad Council and one of them is a deadlink Either we re both not exercising some judgement or I have since we re 68 in agreement on what links needed to be removed Absolutely feel free to follow behind me and find external links that fit WP EL and should be put back I make mistakes all the time and could use the help In fact you could also find articles that don t follow WP EL and help the Wikipedia WikiProject External links As to your threats to get your fellow admins to ban me for removing external links that run afoul of WP EL on your article I d hope you d at least use the processes in place before outright banning me This is my first interaction with an admin who has threatened me so this is new for me I don t intend to stop removing spam or ELs that run afoul of WP EL however
