Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Lanzarote do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

After reconsideration I do not think that this link is suitable under the external link guidelines of Wikipidia given above. This site has an objectionable amounts of advertising. It also does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. In addition as you point out rightfully there are directories for webcams like earthcam which are much better places for someone looking for webcams on a location then Wikipedia, which also should not promote a single one of them by including it in an external links section. Please also note that there seems to be a broad consensus on the removing of this link as up to now also two other users have reverted its insertion. Thank's for your understanding. --VirtualDelight 16:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
