I've been working on an outdoors website that has a focus on parks. The idea is I can add photos, reviews, scores, and other information to a given park. The site is Wiki-like, in that people can correct and add information that is listed (like admission fee info and lat/ long). I think that I have many pages that would be of interest to a person browsing related Wikipedia articles.
So, I would like to edit a number of articles to add links to my pages. For example, I would link to my Yellowstone National Park (http://www.unearthedoutdoors.net/parks/140 ) from Wikipedia (http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park ). Would this be acceptable? Could I do the same for many other pages?
Like (for another example): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erie_National_Wildlife_Refuge http://www.unearthedoutdoors.net/parks/1594
Making these links makes sense, as far as I can tell, but I thought I'd ask about them first, because I'd be making a few hundred of them (at least) and I don't want to step on any toes.
G'day, welcome, and a couple of suggestions to you:

*Links are of some value, but we would love it if you would actually release the photos under GFDL and upload them to Commons, our repository of multimedia content.

Please *don't* just use the GFDL for photos. Use a Creative Commons Attribution license instead of, or together with the GFDL.
