Links to MyWikBiz, Summa Logicae Options

[Peter Damian]

I raised the issue on the RS noticeboard here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Rel...WikiBiz_deleted

There is a concerted effort to remove a link on the Summa Logicae article to a version of book III (the only version on the internet) I placed there.

The logic is that it is a 'personal website'. As I have pointed out, that logic would remove 90% of links from medieval articles, and nearly all the links on that particular article.

It was many weeks work to check the scanned in Latin version - there are currently no Latin spell-checkers on the market, and it all has to be done by eye. This seems more a vendetta against Kohs than anything else.

MrOllie (T-C-L-K-R-D) got into the act right after the Last Big Failure of the BADSITES Movement, and he's basically just doing all the same BAD OPS on a more covert, pseudo-official basis.

Look at the warning that our Twinkle-Twitchy-Fingered-Fanatic runs around pinning on the talk pages of hapless users as fast as he can punch his video game buttons:

[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the [[Wikipedia : External links | external links]] you added do not comply with our [[Wikipedia : External links | guidelines for external links]] and have been removed. [[Wikipedia : What Wikipedia is not#LINK | Wikipedia is not a collection of links]]; nor should it be used as a platform for [[Wikipedia : Spam | 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 [[Wikipedia : Welcome | welcome page]] to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

It's basically just a form of intimidation, with no due proceeding or even a hint of factual finding to back it up. The purpose is apparently nothing other than Keeping Wikipedia Pure, free of all those annoying suggestions that anything of value ever came from the outside world, much less all those bothersome acknowledgments of credit or gratitude for work begged, borrowed, or stolen.
