Deletions
[edit]To Nyttend: Hi, I created this page originally on 11/11/05 and contributed the bulk of the non-statistical information, and my contributions you are removing represent valid and useful external links to reference materials not covered here such as Hawaiian cultural resources, books, film festivals, as well as urban planning guidelines for "Wailea" which is a master planned community on Maui. I believe your deletions violate the spirit of Wikipedia policy in that my contributions do not represent vandalism. When I created the Wailea page in 2005, which later someone merged into a "Wailea-Makena" page which also had only very minimal dry statistical information at that time, the intent was to provide more cultural depth to the resources made available to the Wikipedia visitor. Although technically the film festival site and the cultural Hawaiian book sites may be for-profit businesses, I would suggest to leave it to the intelligence of the Wikipedia user if they choose to go there or not. The external links are at the end of the page and if the reader is at that point and still reading that may mean he/she is seeking additional information in which case those external links may be useful to him/her. P.S. The Hawaiian language dictionary link has popup ads but it is still a highly useful cultural resource as Hawaiian words are used in place names throughout the islands. The popups are outweighed in my opinion by its benefit as a cultural resource. When I created the Wailea page in 2005, which later someone merged into a "Wailea-Makena" page which also had only very minimal dry statistical information at that time, the intent was to provide more cultural depth to the resources made available to the Wikipedia visitor. I read all the instructions at that time although I am not highly skilled in Wikipedia policy but everything I did seemed to be in keeping with policy at that time. Your slashing out large parts of my 2005 contributions seems to be not in keeping with the editorial policies I looked at recently.

- My reply to this: these extra links are spam, and Wikipedia is not a directory of external links. Nyttend 23:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Is it just me or does the "Golf Course View" picture in the article show up as an interior of a car when viewed on Google Earth?
