Talk:David Webb (Hong Kong activist)

message: There is a useful interview with Webb here http://zxspectrumgames.blogspot.com/2010/04/spectrum-games-programmer-interview.html but bots and others keep deleting it. Apparently they don't look past the word "blogspot" in the URL. That is the reason why it has been put in the external links section, and not as a reference. It's every bit as relevant and appropriate as Webb's current site which is linked here too.
Before reflexively deleting a link based on one word in the URL, please consider its nature, especially after one deletion has been reverted, with an explanation given. Although a statement of fact in a blog is not acceptable as a source, valid information can be contained on blogging sites, as here. The interview is billed as an interview, not as anything else.92.90.16.163 (talk) 09:38, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

message: We should note his website, which is surely notable for its role as a resource of core information about Hong Kong. But how can we present that in a suitably Wikipedic way, and with what references? 116.48.27.246 (talk) 16:49, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
