Monty Hall problem simulator

[edit]

I'm sure your simulator for the Monty Hall problem is a fine one, but there are already several linked from the article. As far as I can tell yours offers nothing more than any of the others, which is why I've removed the link. Please see Wikipedia:External links for guidelines regarding external links. -- Rick Block (talk) 20:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My simulator offers what I consider to be the best overall package of user interface, interactive and batch operation, and backup article on the theory behind the paradox. Perhaps you should actually look at the others before passing judgement. The Wikipedia article is not exactly overrun with simulator links (there are four), and I believe mine is a worthwhile addition to it. Please leave it alone; if you remove it again I will make a complaint of vandalism against you. If you still feel there are too many links (or still feel the need to show what a powerful figure you are on Wikipedia), then perhaps you should consider removing a different one. --PaulStephens 10:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I see another user has deleted the link. If you want to pursue this further I suggest you start a thread at talk:Monty Hall problem before adding it again. I have actually looked at the others. Have you read Wikipedia:External links, specifically Advertising and conflicts of interest? I think #12 and possibly #4 under "Links normally to be avoided" also apply. -- Rick Block (talk) 15:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution (BRLSI)

[edit]

Hi, I see you moved the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution to include the abbreviation in the article title. A redirect might have been an easier way to achieve this. I've now done this for BRLSI & added a reference for the buildings listed status. Would you be able to add inline citations for the other facts in the article?— Rod talk 17:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. The ways of wikipedia and syntax can be complex at first - but most editors are a helpful bunch & vey willing to help. You might need to watch out for any Conflict of interest but as long as the edits are Neutral point of view then all participation is encouraged. Wikipedia:Citing sources should help with adding citations - but if it is difficult just add <ref>URL</ref> and I or another editor will come along & tidy the format. Wikipedia:Images gives more info on adding images. Hope this helps & if you have any further questions just let me know.
