Link to webpage
Hello, BBradfield! My name is TCMemoire. As a fellow Black Hills native (as your webpage indicates), I sincerely appreciate that you want to help out the article Rapid City, Black Hills and Western Railroad. However, I decided to remove the link you provided to a website that you seem to have created on the topic. The webpage does not count as a source because it does not provide any additional&mdash;nor does it refine any existing&mdash;information on the railroad. Please see Reliable sources and Citing sources. The best fit would be in an "External links" section (which you might see on many other articles), but the webpage does not seem to meet the criteria for inclusion in such a section.

Also, I would like to send a friendly note that it is generally not acceptable to add links to websites that were created, are maintained, or are represented by you. For more information on this, please see Conflict of interest. Though I wish you luck on gathering information for your webpage, Wikipedia is not the place to gather an audience for it.

If you have any questions, concerns, or other comments, feel free to leave a reply here or on my talk page (The "T" in my signature). Thank you and welcome to Wikipedia!  –  T C  Memoire  06:30, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
