Hi Bob. I noticed you posted to an article talk page about the removal of your link. Some explanation for you (I removed the one you put on List of internet stations). New users like to come in and add external links, so they are forever being removed almost automatically. Additionally, since one of the links was to your own site, you have a conflict of interests. So, posting to the article talk page and letting more experienced users decide was the correct thing to do.

Sounds like you may be useful on some of our weather articles. Have fun editing Wikipedia. --GraemeL (talk) 02:14, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
