sorry for removing your link again, Alwin. I do believe that your group at the moment fails WP:ORG. If you want to advertise its existence more widely, may I suggest you advertise it on (a) swordforum and (b) the arsgladii.at forum (the link is to a thread on this map -- seeing that there is already a Dutch group listed, I am sure they will include your group on the map). dab (𒁳) 12:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

thanks for your email. Maybe my action was premature, I apologize. It was not so much directed against your group but done out of a general concern that we could enter a "slippery slope" and end up with dozens of clearly inappropriate links if we do not draw a clear line. If you add back your link, I will not remove it again (but it may still be removed by other editors of course). Generally, you are invited to Talk:Historical European martial arts to argue your case, since this is by no means between you and me but as always a matter of community consensus. regards, dab (𒁳) 08:32, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
