:::: Right, the policy you link to states the following: "External links or Internet directories. There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate. See Wikipedia:External links for some guidelines." There is nothing excessive about linking to another tool that has the same stature and notability as some of the others here. I contend that the link I added to the table was "useful" and "content-relevant." There just aren't that many GUI testing tools in the world. There is no danger of it becoming a link farm. But you just go ahead and do what you like with the page. I'm done here. [[User:Victorianist|Victorianist]] ([[User talk:Victorianist|talk]]) 19:37, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
::::: The excessive nature is when every back-yard hobbyist adds their tool regardless of notability to the list despite them thinking it's useful or content-relevant. There are many GUI Testing tools in the world, I have seen the lists elsewhere. [[User:Walter Görlitz|Walter Görlitz]] ([[User talk:Walter Görlitz|talk]]) 04:03, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
:::::: I have no relationship to Sikuli. Here's how it came that I added it to the list. I work for a company and we need an automated, cross-platform GUI testing tool that is also open source. There is one on your (note that I say "your" and not "Wikipedia's" list that I was interested in, but a colleague pointed me toward another tool that I had never heard of and that was Sikuli. I thought I would at least put a link to it on the page. But it seems that any arm-chair enthusiast without a higher degree in anything thinks that they know better about what should appear in a Wikipedia entry. You keep fighting the good fight. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Victorianist|Victorianist]] ([[User talk:Victorianist|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Victorianist|contribs]]) 03:54, 2 August 2014 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
