Talk:Wedding videography

message: Currently the first item under "Wedding videography / External Links" is "Wedding Videography Advice : Articles Advice articles on lighting issues, contracts, and more." which is a link to a page advertising the services of a videographer in LA. That page has advice articles in a sidebar.
Is this an example of an acceptable Wikipedia link?  Personally, I am also in the wedding videography business and my webpage also has wedding video advice and FAQ sections. Is it considered acceptable for me to insert a link to my own website here?
*You're quite right in that those links aren't really acceptable; I'll remove them. Thank you for asking. DS 15:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate link 

message: I'm considering listing this on the VfD -- most of this does not seem to be information appropriate to an encyclopedia. It just seems to have the potential to grow a linkfarm. Thoughts? --TangentIdea 03:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this necessary? 

message: I'm cleaning this page up per guidelines on Wikipedia:Spam. If the link is:
* the page of a private videographer or videography company,
* contributed by a username used only for adding links,
* accompanied by a poor description or none at all,
...I'm deleting it. Considering that Wedding photography managed to survive with NO external links, I think we should follow their precedent here. Even though some like Top 10 Tips For Booking Your Wedding Video in Ireland do have useful information, it's redundant, and the site is mainly an advertising site for a videographer. Furthermore, it sets a bad precedent for other videographers that want to add their own links. --TangentIdea 01:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks, it does look better. Not to rain on your parade, though, but do you think you could cite some sources for your historical information? Books, websites, etc., even magazine or newspaper articles. --TangentIdea 04:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Okay. I'd recommend you take some time to read through the Wikipedia:No_original_research article. I really do love your history story -- I just think it's interesting to learn about how some of these niche professions came to be. However, it would help the article a bit if you could link to other sites, even if it's your own. That'll lend the article a little stability. If you can back up some of your stories and facts externally, that'll help keep other editors from destroying it because they think differently. Sorry, I really don't have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, personally, so I'm just going off of the best information I have about WikiPolicy. :-) --TangentIdea 03:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fleshed out the style section 

message: Tangentideaq, I would recommend that the event videography entry be merged into this one. Really when you are talking event videography you are also talking wedding videography they are nearly inseperable and the history and future are inseperable. I have no idea how to go about doing this.--BJ Peterson 02:53, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Deleted spam link

message: Regarding the back and forth undo/redo of the wedding videography option description, particularly the trash the dress section:  Please refrain from making the option descriptions sound like a sales pitch.  The purpose of this site is explain the activities within the industry, not convince a potential client to purchase a particular service.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joelperegrine (talk • contribs) 16:34, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
