Talk:Barnes, London

message: The link to BarnesSW13 is a bit funny - the link shows the site is monitoring the use of the link. Is this against wikipedia policy, is it considered advertising? Jfr26 22:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The relevant guideline here, IMHO, is WP:EL (and, I suppose, WP:NOT).  To be sure, the referral tracking is wholly inappropriate in view of WP:SPAM's proscription against external link spamming, inasmuch as, in its ertswhile fashion, the link existed, we can safely infer, primarily to solicit traffic; I modified the link in order that the provenance of site hits should not be tracked.  The question of whether we ought to include the link at all is a closer one.  Because the site would seem to contain neutral and accurate material (even as the site ostensibly advocates that one partake of the activities there enumerated, many of those activities are non-commerical, and, in any event, certain activities, at least vis-à-vis others, are not treated tendentiously) and be a relevant web directory (as, for example, might be a link to a given Chamber of Commerce for an American city; we don't tend to look with such links with disfavor), I can abide its inclusion, even as the site does seem to exist as advertising or to promote products or services; I will understand, though, if others disagree and think the link ought to be removed straightaway.

replies: text: It is actually not relevant in an encyclopaedia. In any case, such a statement about a living person needs to be backed up by reliable sources - see :WP:BIO. Thanks. Kbthompson (talk) 18:32, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Is the inclusion of Zac Goldsmith's candidature justified? It's hard to see what is notable about this: he is not a politician of note, not is the parliamentary seat of any particular electoral significance, for example as a key marginal. It smacks slightly of the possibility that someone has added it with the aim of giving publicity to or promoting Mr Goldsmith's candidature.
