LINK LISTING CRITERIA




Who May Submit A Link Request.
1. Any member or non-member may submit a link for listing consideration to the who will in turn log the request and forward it to the Review Committee.

Criteria
2. Only web sites or site pages that are numismatic-related shall be considered for listing on the WINS "LINKS" page. Linked sites must contain information pertaining to coins, currency, tokens, medals, exonumia or similar topics beneficial to the numismatic hobbyist.

3. Placement of any link on the "LINKS" page does not constitute a contractual obligation or a special relationship between WINS and the owner of the linked web site or site page, nor does it guarantee the link will remain listed. WINS reserves the right to deny or remove any link at any time solely as determined by WINS, without notification.

4. Links to non-member dealer sites, inactive member or inactive member-dealer sites, web sites or site pages that provide multiple links to sales sites will not be listed.

5. The "Member" and "Member-Dealers" link categories shall be limited to Active members (as defined in the Bylaws) only.

6. Members who have a link on the "LINKS" page, but drop their active membership shall have that link removed. Re-listing shall be at the discretion of the Review Committee.

7. While the goal will always be links to numismatic-related sites, linked web sites may otherwise contain non-numismatic material as long as it remains tasteful and "family friendly". The linked listing shall not contain any material or secondary links that are unfit for a family-friendly environment. "Unfit" primarily refers to such things as pornography, adult material, obscenity, profanity, politics, religion, or anything that the general public or average person would consider offensive or inappropriate, especially for minors.

8. WINS will not generally be concerned with a site's secondary links, however these links are subject to review for conformance to a family-friendly environment.

Review Responsiblity
9. The Review Committee is responsible for viewing all link requests submitted by the Operations Admin, and for recommending acceptance or denial and an appropriate category for accepted links. The Committee Chair (as defined in the Bylaws) is responsible for notifying the WINS President and Operations Admin of the Committee's recommendations. The Operations Admin is responsible for updating the "LINKS" page.

10. The Review Committee periodically checks each link on the "LINKS" page to ensure all links remain active and that linked site content continues to meet WINS criteria. The Committee Chair is responsible for notifying the WINS President and Operations Admin of the Committee's review recommendations. Based on those findings and recommendations, the Operations Admin removes dead and inappropriate links as necessary.

Appeal
11. A WINS member, who is the owner of a web site or web page whose link request has been denied, may appeal to the WINS Board for reconsideration. The Board's decision on the member's appeal shall be final. The Board President or his/her designated representative will notify the appropriate parties of the final decision. No appeals are available for non-WINS members.
