Ffbond, in regard to your revert, I'm sorry, but this is clearly not OK per Wikipedia:External links. First of all, we typically allow one "official" link per subject, not three. Second, mission statements (on YouTube or in the article) are never OK; please see Wikipedia:Avoid mission statements. Third, specifically for the blog link, WP:ELNO, item 11, urges us not to link to blogs; in addition, a further section, WP:ELMINOFFICIAL, specifically addresses multiple "official" links for one subject, and it specifically excludes those which are "prominently linked from other official websites"--in this case, the blog is indeed linked, prominently enough, from the official website. In addition, the blog seems to be limited to a series of postings listing updates, without any comments. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 01:25, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
G'day,
thanks for the further explanation. I think the Wikipedia:Avoid mission statements page is specifically discussing including the mission statement in the text of the article, not linking to it: "Mission statements rarely tell us much and should generally not be transcribed in full in Wikipedia articles." But your argument against the blog is strong, and I will removed it (and better characterize the other link). Francis Bond (talk) 09:42, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
