[personal profile] ron_newman posting in [community profile] davis_square
In the last day, someone has twice removed the long-standing link to this LJ community from the Davis Square Wikipedia page. I put it back, and someone took it out again. I really don't want to get into an edit war. Would someone else like to restore it this time?

here's an idea - someone could edit the article to mention that there is a davis_square livejournal community rather than actually linking to it, perhaps in doing so describing its use to the community. More informative, still at least technically within the rules, still puts it out there.

Or, Ron, if you are going to appeal to the powers that be to allow the link, fuel for your argument is that it is a "livejournal COMMUNITY", not an individual's, band's, or organization's blog.

Nah, it would still be fall under "Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums or USENET." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:EL#Links_normally_to_be_avoided), as a type of discussion forum. If you put a description into the article proper, it would likely be removed unless you could include a Reliable Independent Source demonstrating the significance of this LJ community.
