Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. --Ronz (talk) 19:12, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hear what you are saying Roz but I am an expert in the entire field of directories. Everything I will be writing will be completely objective and supported by FACT. You really need to give people a chance to write and cite and then after investigation check before you delete everything. What you are doing is destroying the whole ethos of wikipedia. I think you should give me a chance to show how objective I can be before being so judgmental. You will find that you have a completely unchartered field in family safe searching of which I am one of the worlds leading experts. I anticipate you co-operation and won't let either yourself or wikipedia as a whole down.

Regards,

Emma

Thanks for the reply.

If you plan on continuing to edit as you've done, then you should start a discussion at WP:COIN concerning your editing.

Otherwise, we certainly could use help from an expert such as yourself on Web directory, especially to find independent, reliable sources for the article, and then to use those sources to improve the article. --Ronz (talk) 00:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Roz, I will take your advice but may need guidance on the use of this particular software. What I've been involved in for the past 15 years or so is the evolution of the directory and its uses. I would be giving the pros and cons of all directories not just cantufind, Dmoz or Yahoo but others that offer an alternative. I was planning on building a picture so to speak using many pages within the wikipedia so that people get the complete picture of the good and bad without being defamitory to any party or over-biased to any either. The whole ethos I built my career on was to see a fair internet, a safe one, but a fair one. I realized we won't ever attain that but we can at least try to educate the world on where to start using the directory as a suppliment to the search engines which in my opinion are somewhat weaker in algorythmic value due to their sheer volume of content and inability to cater for semantic manipulation etc. I hope you can see where I am coming from and the direction I plan to go.

Thanks for your time, may need you guidance on matters and will never give content that is non-verifiable or accurate. This has in the past been the archilles heal of wikipedia and something I'd like to put right.

Regards.

I'm happy to help. It's usually best to start by listing the sources that you're working from, so we avoid original research concerns. --Ronz (talk) 01:07, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
