Accurate Historian

I have maintained updated accurate links for several informative educational websites throughout the years. At this time, I have registered for an account because some minor edits were being deleted as "vandalism." In no way have I vandalised Wiki pages. Please do not hesitate to contact me via this page if you have any questions or concerns.

Sorry if you got the wrong impression
You left a message on my talk page and then removed it(not sure why?) I didn't mean to give the wrong impression when I removed your links using VandalProof. You're right, it's not exactly vandalism. It was my fault that my time was short and I didn't have time to properly summarize my edits. I would/should have included something more detailed in the edit summary window but just didn't have the time. External links on Wikipedia are covered quite well under Wikipedia policy WP:EL. Basically it says no fansites, no chat forums, no personal webpages, no advertising, no spam...etc. Fansites aren't barred completely. If they support article content(have copies of interviews n such)...they can be used as a citation (WP:CITE). One fansite link is allowed in the external links section of each article but it has to be put to a vote on the talk page first and concensus reached among the articles regular editors. Another Wikipedia policy where this is covered is WP:NOT. What that says, essentially, is Wikipedia is NOT a linkfarm. And there are many Wikipedians/Administrators who police those rules quite strictly. I don't specifically hunt for them myself. I just catch them as I'm passing through. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask any questions. Take Care Anger22 20:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
