Hello VersaGeek, It is good to see that you are a dedicated contributor to Wikipedia. I appreciate your work here. I just disagree with you on one point. Information about any particular place is equally important to its time. Local time of a place is as attached to a place as you are to Wikipedia ! Information about a place is incomplete if the information about its local time is not given. I remember adding this link to Jodhpur wiki about its local time (along with restaurant and their famous cuisine), and next thing i see is that local time information is removed. anyone looking at information of Jodhpur is equally likely to check its local time than he is to know what are famous restaurants in the area. If you think that local restaurant information is necessary, local time is equally important. Please do not remove this link from a places wiki. Thank you for your cooperation here.

: Wikipedia is [[WP:NOT|not a directory or travel guide]], adding the same link to 80+ articles is [[WP:SPAM|spamming]] and since all of India is GMT+5:30 it is sufficient to state this in the article(s) with an internal wikilink to [[Indian Standard Time]], rather than linking to an outside source. Your domain has been blacklisted because it was aggressively spammed.

You agree that time information is important for information along with information of a place. Having the user go to wiki for IST (Indian Standard Time) first, does not tell him the time of the place. How does it help ? All India is in in GMT+5.30 is something you know, not everyone. That is exactly what the purpose of the link is. Still do not understand the logic of removing local time information from wiki. Please do not remove this link. Kindly reply and confirm. Regards, MD. |

A Note About Advertising and Conflicts of Interest
If I reverted your link addition or removed your links from an article, please read this:
Due to the rising profile of Wikipedia and the amount of extra traffic it can bring a site, there is a great temptation to use Wikipedia to advertise or promote sites. This includes both commercial and non-commercial sites. You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked. If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it. This is in line with the conflict of interest guidelines.
If you have additional information to add to the article, why not simply add it rather than having an external link?
