External Link to HurricaneWiki.org
Your edits to add HurricaneWiki.org to the external links section of Hurricane Ike have now been reverted twice by two different editors (including me). I have opened a discussion on the article's talk page if you wish to discuss it. Please do not add the link again until consensus is reached. Thank you. --Danorton (talk) 04:04, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:26, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

Dmoz is completely non-comerrcial. Did you even look at the site? No ads on it at all. Only links to the important sites - none of them spam, I can assure you. Unless you consider sites like Wikipedia, the Rio host committee site, the olympic movement site, the olympic teams sites, and sites to major media outlets to be spam. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links#Links_to_be_considered
