Talk:Ileostomy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I believe that the link to MeetAnOstoMate.com should be re-inserted. This is a website for ostomates from around the world. It is intended to help ostomates find friends and/or start relationships. I think the link would be an appropriate addition to the topic of this article and useful for the readers.
I understand the desire to offer a resource helpful to people with ostomies, but Wikipedia's guildlines don't allow such entries. Here are four Wikipedia unexceptable external link guidlines that might apply:
- Links mainly intended to promote a website.
- Links to sites that primarily exist to sell products or services. For example, instead of linking to a commercial bookstore site, use the "ISBN" linking format, giving readers an opportunity to search a wide variety of free and non-free book sources.
- Links to sites that require payment or registration to view the relevant content.
- Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums or USENET.
