does not accept commercial links like these when they are posted to multiple articles, especially by somebody with a business interest. Generally, links to chambers of commerce or convention and visitor bureaus are acceptable in the article that they most closely tie to, while links to business sites with widespread coverage are not. The only way that links to your site would be likely to be durable would be if they did not contain many advertisements, if they contained significant, unique factual information, and if they were posted to locality articles where there was no non-profit or local equivalent, which seems unlikely. Even then, it would ahve to be a user other than you or an employee. There is a related Wikitravel project that you may want to look at.--

You should not repost the links to your business, since doing so is a violation of several WP policies and guidelines. Go back to your talk page and read the next warning that was posted and the links that it will lead you to. Your site is pretty interesting compared to some others, but the project

The Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau pages are hardly "non-profit." Business must pay to belong. Some independent business choose not to pay the fees required, which can be hundreds of dollars. We favor small, independently owned businesses in our editorial, and do not require fees for links.

I removed this from the article: "The Half Moon Bay School District made headlines in recent months when it outlawed the assigning of homework so as not to offend children who happened to be homeless. " There is no school district with that name. Also, I went to school in the city until June, and

Yeah, I agree. I will find another one. I still don't think the original photo should return, but I will compromise and look for another one. The majority of the composition of the last photo was pavement and cars. Not very illustrative of the town. Also, I'm not convinced that showing the

I've looked through the images on Commons but don't see a really great one. I will try to take a better photo when I can, but for now I think the previous image, of downtown Main Street, is better than the new photo, which doesn't depict what it claims to depict. Or perhaps

Perhaps people can go to Wikitravel, and read reviews there. or just go and try one. We can note the abundance of fish restaurants at princeton by the sea/pillar point, and crab/fish sales from seagoing vessels at the

downtown area is the best use of the image. Half Moon Bay is famous for many things, least of all its downtown, parking, and cars. Nature should be the top priority.

teachers still assigned homework, and called it homework. So unless someone can find a source for this, I'd suggest keeping it out of the article.

Why is there no mention of the Beachwood case? The ruling just bankrupted the city, forcing it to close and outsource its police department.
