I have chosen to refrain from further contributions on Wikipedia, due to certain obtuse editors who lack the ability to show respect to fellow contributors. Managing several successful websites of my own, I have never had any interest in bullying legitimate contributors on Wikipedia.

In regard to the blatant refusal of a couple of editors to leave the two relevant, and useful links I placed on Favicon (based on my own experience in professional web design)

For the record, as a favicon aficionado I not only have numerous pages on Free Favicon Downloads but manage a favicon webring which anyone is welcomed to join, and manage a blog on favicons. All being royalty-free favicon downloads. My contributions here have been legitimate, but I am aware that some have no further success on the web than managing a few articles for Wikipedia, and that becomes manifest in the aggressive cyberstalking often seen in "edit wars" between contributors. I simply have no time nor interest in the anxiety which results from such infantile conduct.

In 2004-2005 I was a student in Westwood College of Technology multimedia and web design program, based in Denver, Colorado. (Achieved Dean's List on a couple occasions Link #1 and Link #2.)

I am currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Aquaculture with Brunswick Community College and upon completion of the Associates program hope to transfer to UNCW University of North Carolina at Wilmington to obtain a Bachelors of Science, Masters and eventually, a PhD in Marine Biology. My Aquaculture blog.

I participate in Wikipedia, and provide some additional footnotes of interesting information on a variety of subjects, and some of the images / photography I have created. My interests are in art and life-biological science.

See Evolution of cetaceans and Evolution of sirenians for sample of art I have created and contributed.

To the editor who removed the two non commercial links which were in dispute for over 12 hours of my time, without providing a single, reasonable explanation You do not seem to understand what a "commercial link" is. You have falsely labled the two links you removed as "commercial" when they certainly are not. They do not charge one dime for services. All items are free, public access. Would you consider Wikipedia's request for donations, commercial? According to your logic, Wikipedia is a commercial site. It both solicits donations and draws in millions of dollars, therefore, Wikipedia itself is commercial.

To better define the issue, websites such as http://www.match.com/ which charge fees for use of their services, are "commercial" links. http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico which is displayed right in the midst of Favicon is a commercial link, but on numerous occasions, certain editors have failed to make such a simple distinction.
