External links

Hi,

First, welcome (as above).

Second, external links on wikipedia have specific guidelines. For one, they should be kept to a minimum, 'cause wikipedia is not a linkfarm. Second, most editors are death on spam, and that includes external links which have any sort of advertisements in them. Third, links with information should be referenced as per WP:RS. Fourth, any information that is in a link should be integrated into the article body - external links are for things that can't be put into the body text, like videos, sound clips, links to major organizations, company websites and such the like.

I urge you to check out WP:EL to get a better sense of the information. If you are actually a chiropractic student, you would be a huge wealth of information for may of the articles on wikipedia. Even better than that, you probably have a huge stack of textbooks that meet wikipedia's reliable sources guidelines. So welcome, please keep contributing, and have a look at some of the policy pages. If you'd like to continue this as a dialogue, feel free to use my talk page.

Just to let you know, I am going to keep removing the tendonitis link, for the reasons stated above. WLU 12:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a reply to you on my talk page. Also, when adding to talk pages, convention is add below previous comments so the page can be read in chronological order from top to bottom. See this section of the talk page guidelines; the whole page is actually a pretty handy read. Thanks,

Link

Hi Chiro,

I removed the external link again, my reasons remain the same as before. However, rather than us getting into a head-to-head or revert war, I was wondering if you would be interested in a comment from a third party. To date our interactions have been quite civil (thanks for that by the way), but since we seem to be at loggerheads regarding the inclusion of the link, it might be a good idea for both of us to have someone else give their opinion. Though I still firmly believe the link should not be in the page either as an external link, or as a reference, I could be wrong. I may be slightly more familiar with editing and whatnot, but I am far from perfect and realize I may be over-zealously interpreting the policy. As a sign of good faith on my part, I'll revert my removal of the link until I hear back from you. Whaddya think?

Thanks,

Sockpuppetry?

Please note that if you are using a second account (user:wikismart) as implied in your recent reply on the tendonitis talk page, this is in violation of the policy on sockpuppetry and should cease immediately. If I have merely misunderstood your statement, I apologize.

Also, you have still not replied to my objections to the external link. If you strenuously object to the other external links with advertising, they have just been removed. The only EL left is the ACR, which has no ads. And wikipedia is you and me, regular editors. There is no wikipedia overall, just a series of policies, a whole bunch of pages, and a lot of anonymous editors. Argue policy, and not personality. I'll start looking into the RFC. Also note that 'other pages do it' is a reason to correct those pages, not a reason to leave improper links on the page. WLU 12:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reqeust for comment

Please note that there has been a reply to the request for comment. After you read the comments, if you are satisfied, please either complete the RfC proceedure by removing the links to the pages, or let me know so I can do so.

Thanks,

It's been 11 days since this original posting on the RFC page. In the interest of making following the RFC policy, I will be striking the RFC from the original page in the next week or so unless you raise an objection. WLU 16:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
