[edit] Amazon reference

I see Wdfarmer has reverted Alexs letterbox's deletion of Amazon. My own view is that a CD number is appropriate but not the name of a retailer. Regards to all. - Kleinzach 21:09, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Wdfarmer followed the guidelines for books as per ISBN (WP:ISBN). There exists no policy on DVDs, so I suppose we'll just have to leave it there. --Alexs letterbox 06:02, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

If there is no policy then perhaps we should use common sense? The reader can decide where to buy something. We shouldn't allow advertizing, so I've removed the Amazon link. If Wdfarmer wishes to take up this issue on a policy level then he or she is very welcome to do so. Regards Kleinzach 12:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice, Kleinzach. I did some looking, and found quite an informed discussion of the topic of using the ASIN, at user:Shimgray/ASIN. On that basis, I'm going to remove my ASIN and amazon.com references. I'll add a catalogue number if I can find one. Wdfarmer 05:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm delighted that is resolved. Obviously it is a very good ideas to give ISBNs and catalogue to help identification of books and recordings. Regards. Kleinzach 20:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
