It is important that you follow your own advice and before removing relevant links, you should discuss said on the article's talke page. Your subjective view of what is relevant and what is not should be more thoroughly debated before your view is to serve as final. I do appreciate you attention to the matter.

Relevance is not the sole criteria for adding or removing external links. Please review WP:EL. WP is not a directory of links. Calltech 17:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It is important that you set an example by first discussing a link deletion as per your own instruction. Please do your best to respect content provided by other contributors. Subjective deletions are inappropriate.

As per WP:EL Links in question met the following criteria:

What to link to There are several things which should be considered when adding an external link.

Is it accessible to the reader? Is it proper in the context of the article (useful, tasteful, informative, factual, etc.)? Is it a functional link, and likely to continue being a functional link? Each link be considered on its merits, using the following guidelines. As the number of external links in an article grows longer, assessment should become stricter.

Links to be considered For albums, movies, books, and other creative works, links to professional reviews.

A web directory category, when deemed appropriate by those contributing to the article, with preference to open directories.

Very large pages should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Worldwide, many use Misplaced Pages with a low-speed connection.

Unusually large pages should be annotated as such.

Your edit summaries are getting slightly annoying, for example "Bjweeks did not remove term "was beastly" when he edited Chess team section. His oversight has been corrected.". Your were the one that added "was beastly" and all I did was revert the edit of some other user. Just because we have a disagreement on another article does not mean you need to go to all the pages I edit and revert my changes with accusatory edit summaries. BJ 18:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
