Removal of external link from the Shared Parenting entry...

I am seeking to add a link to an example of a parenting plan that is both non-commercial (aka free - no one is after money) and has no copy right restrictions. The aim of providing this sample is to give people access to a useful resource that will give them a list of parenting plan elements or items to consider (from the real life sample parenting plan). This is not a self-promotion and the site only contains copies (in several formats) of the parenting plan.

My attempt is being stopped by Hu12 who keeps removing this link/info and implying it is spam.

According to Wikipedia:External links http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/WP:EL it is not SPAM:

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.

What should be linked to

1. Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site if any.
2. An article about a book, a musical score, or some other media should link to a site hosting a copy of the work if none of the "Links normally to be avoided" criteria apply.
3. Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons.
4. Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews.

My actions are genuine and specific. The desire is to provide useful additional resources to readers of this page that will help connect them and their children. There is no desire to profit or to spam.

Can this removal please stop? Or can you tell me how and where to lodge an appeal against this action?

Was there really such an advertisement? Whoever put such an 'advert' up might be misrepresenting the Shared Parenting Council of Australia, which according to its website at http://www.spca.org.au represents a range of "Parent, Children, Church and Family Law Reform organisations" (no mention of Fathers' Rights). It also says that the Shared Parenting Council of Australia represents grandparents. Its current (2003) president is Matilda Bawden.

The Shared Parenting Council of Australia represents Father's Rights, Children's Rights, Church groups and individuals www.spca.org.au

The SPCA has been lobbying for a Rebuttable Presumption of Shared Parenting and has been successful in getting the contentious issue onto the front burner of the political hotplate.

Call for Arms

It is necessary to join this article with the article in coparenting. I am available to cooperate with the authors of this article. It is important to highlight the fact that shared parenting or coparenting has been introduced in the Italian law no more as a recommendation, as in the past, but as the standard. Any help appreciated. A similar article should be prepared for French and Spanish languages too. Anybody able to cooperate are welcome. Thank you in advance. --Dejudicibus 20:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Add IowaFathers.com

http://www.iowafathers.com IowaFathers.com should be added to the Additional Links section. This is a free support group and its members are responsible for many new pieces of legislation in Iowa, which has changed the face of child custody issues, including the joint physical care bill (House File 22) that was passed in 2004 and modified Iowa Statute 598.41(5)(a).

This year, IowaFathers.com introduced Senate File 127, a bill that allows students to be excused from school-related extracurricular activities if the activity interferes with scheduled visitation with a non-custodial parent when the extracurricular activity is scheduled outside of regular school hours.

Stephen Baskerville, president of ACFC and Bryan Iehl, president of IowaFathers.com have written many articles together that have been published supporting shared parenting. Here is one such article: http://www.iowafathers.com/media/vilsack_gazette_article.pdf

Also, Joint Physical Care should be added as an alias for shared parenting. Mr. Iehl already defined joint physical care on Wikipedia some time ago. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IowaFather (talk • contribs) 20:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]
