Additions of http://.modernphoenix.net/

Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.--Hu12 (talk) 10:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some background on ModernPhoenix.net and why links are appropriate

I am concerned that you perceive my edits to the Ralph Haver entry to be self-promotion or linking to my own personal site out of vanity. In good faith, I assure you that my entries are intended to provide access to the latest research and findings about this remarkable man and his work, including resources that are hosted exclusively on my site such as an interview with Haver's son and the world's largest collection of Haver Home images.

Since my links are neither "advertising nor inappropriate", I presume your editorial objection is with guideline "Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority." Allow me to demonstrate that I am a recognized scholar in this field and have since 2003 maintained the internet's only repository of primary source material about Ralph Haver's life and work. This is largely content not duplicated anywhere else on the internet. The scope of our website's reach and influence can be easily verified through a simple Google search for modernphoenix.net and monitoring incoming links recognizing the site as a valid and reliable resource about midcentury modern design in Phoenix.

If necessary to assist in your assessment, visit the modernphoenix.net "ABOUT" page for a sampling of citations in the print media validating my expertise and our award-winning website. I linked to them here earlier but then realized that you might find that spammy as well ;-)

I request that my substantial and factual contribution to the Ralph Haver page be reinstated as written, and that my links be left intact as one-of-a-kind worldwide resources. If your objection is to the frequency of linkage, then please be specific about which link you find to be the most in violation of guidelines. I understand now that the inclusion of modernphoenix.net in the Phoenix, AZ entry is not qualified as a cited resource, but it is certainly qualified for the Ralph Haver entry, as it is for the Al Beadle entry as well.

Thanking you in advance for your thoughtful consideration. Alisonking (talk) 08:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
