[edit]
Hello, I'm McGeddon. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Amazon.com, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

- Perhaps I misunderstood the nature of the site, but it appeared to be a simple aggregation of news stories about the company - such search aggregator sites are discouraged under the WP:ELNO policy linked above. --McGeddon (talk) 18:39, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- I'd say as a mix of anonymously-curated article links and the site's own stories, it falls between a search aggregator of internet news, and a search aggregator of Amiba's own website. Wikipedia doesn't link to the Guardian newspaper's list of its own Amazon stories, and it wouldn't link to it if they also included off-site links.
- Just my opinion, though. If you think it's worth adding, suggest it at Talk:Amazon.com. --McGeddon (talk) 09:42, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
