Signatures
I saw your message on changing your signature, first you need to decide what you want it to look like. As a simple example, making a solid color sig, use the code ;">0plusminus0   which if the color was set as "darkred", would display as:  0plusminus0. You could also make a link to your talk page or something. I personally like 0plus  minus0, (The minus0 links to your talk page, but since this is your talk page, the link won't work) but it is up to you. When you pick a design, let me know, and I will explain how to set it. Prodego talk  14:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, go to your preferences, and check the "Raw signature (no auto link; don't use templates or external links in this)" and put the wikicode for your sig in the "Signature:" box. Then just sign as normal, using ~ . I wouldn't recommend linking to your contribs with on the zeros, since that would drastically increase the amount of code, but go ahead if you wish.

It seems that the generic page has already been created and linked to from the JODAP article. While it of course could be improved, it seems to be fine on content. I may find time to rewrite it in a style more in keeping with the rest of the encyclopedia, but with 3 sources, two linked, and a nice summary of the programs history, this seems like a great start to a good article that someone with less experience could handle. I noticed that someone else contacted the person who left the original message. It seems like you already have a good little group of people to work on this. I also tend to spend most of my time doing janitorial work rather than content generation. I'm not really at a point right now where I feel I can take on a new content project, as I have a rather large one that I've been neglecting of late and want/need to get back to. I have periodically gotten bored and written a random requested article, but have mostly been a vandal watch and new pages patroller, with some help desk work on the side. I might swing by and give it a rewrite in a few days but if not, good luck with it and welcome to Wikipedia. &mdash;WAvegetarian&bull;(talk) 17:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Your question
Hi, I am sorry I missed your question on HD. But I am afraid the question is not very clear to me. Are you saying that if an internal article like my talk page is linked externally like this, then its not available on "What links here"? Or can you give me a more appropriate example? -- Lost (talk) 17:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. Yes you are right, if you want to see all the links in "what links here", then using external links for internal articles is definitely a bad idea. That user seems to be doing it deliberately for an article to keep the no. of links low to avoid clutter. As long as its a good faith edit, I dont see a problem. If however it is not agreeable to you for the article in question, you can discuss with him. In general, it would certainly not be a good idea to do this as "what links here" will lose its meaning. But AFAIK, there is no policy to govern this. Will look for more info for you though -- Lost (talk) 18:21, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
