[edit] Re: content removed by ip 74.140.44.3
Hello,
I posted a few links this eveing on camera related pages. I came back to browse the wikepedia site and I saw that I had a message which stated you removed what I added. I read through the explanation but I am wondering how you decide what to remove and keep added content. Here is what I don't understand: on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-lens_reflex_camera there are two external links. The bottom one is about calculating the field of view of a 35mm lens. Did you know that site owner placed two links on wikipedia and his site is breaking your rules that were displayed to me when I came back to visit wikipedia again? Just because the link to camera prices that I posted has store offers is why you removed the url? If you visit that second link (http://www.noendpress.com/pvachier/cameras/index.php#calculator) and scroll up you will see a list of cameras that are not related to his calculator. The page is not just a calculator page. He has advertisments at the top of the page in two places and if you click on a product image you will see at the bottom of that page he is an amazon affilate. So how is it that his added content has not been removed? Are you telling me if cameraprices.com had a "camera wizard" or "camera calculator" then the content I added would not have been removed? Please enlighten me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.140.44.3 (talk) 11:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

- That spam page still did not answer my questions. I believe you are over looking the other site link I referenced. I would like to petition that you remove that link too, as beyond the calculator, the site itself is just a affiliate site.
