Talk:Automatic test pattern generation
To the EDASeeAlso template editor:
Community member - I am attaching the following SPAM template. There are three key issues with your template:
1) It refers readers to external links where a fee is required.
2) It is not consistent with the "See Also" sections of the articles.
3) The wording of the template does not fit all articles.
Please discontinue use of this template and instead consider putting specific links to specific, relevant articles.
Thank you.

I reverted your last edit again, as I don't consider the template SPAM as well. In my opinion the information certainly does contribute to the subject. The fact in itself that payment is required doesn't necessarily imply that it is just of simple commercial interest. The books, mentioned in the reference lists, have to be payed for too. Further, both books and conference proceedings can be consulted in academic libraries. If you have valuable suggestions for the content of the template you might start a specific discussion on its talk page.
I suggest you to follow the wp:bb guidelines in case of lacking consensus on a certain issue and use the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. So if your edit is undone by someone disagreeing on it, please leave it at that for the main page and just start a discussion on the talk page to try and find new consensus, rather than recklessly redo your edit.

The community is better served by text, and not a template. This template is not applicable.... and cannot be edited for this article only as it is template. I have already suggested putting specific links and specific appropriate conference rather than using a template.
