There are certain industries that are perceived to be "dying", such as the film and analog videotape industries, that are actually still active but in a much more subdued way than before. If on the Velvia page, wiki mentions that some companies are loading Velvia into Super-8 cartridges, why not mention who those companies are since there are only four in the whole world? If on the Kodachrome page, the replacement stocks are mentioned (of which velvia is one of them) why not mention who is handling the stock, once again, because there are only four small companies in the entire world doing it. |

I was just on the "time-lapse" wiki site and there somebody created a category for "commercial links", this confuses me because the links I have provided were a combination of informational and commercial. Are commercial links allowed if a commercial links heading is created? |

Either way, extremely small cottage industries can actually be harmed by information that is posted here if external links are not provided to round out the information that is posted here, no? ```` |

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Videotape. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Jmax- 23:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Is there where I can respond to the above comment?
I have an informational page on a website of mine that discusses the issue of archiving tape. Very few webites are educating people that their tape and film masters cannot be realistically archived digitally at this time. I explain this at length on my website. The information is important to share so people don't mistakenly throw away their original 8mm films and home videos because they have transferred them to DVD and think they have properly archived them when they have not.
