Original Mark Edwards
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I'm removing your link to "The Original Mark Edwards, musician." Because I see you're new, and because I like to welcome people who want to help improve Wikipedia, I thought I would explain why I'm taking the link down and how this information could/should be included in Wikipedia.

Disambiguation pages on wikipedia are indexes to information in Wikipedia that might get confused with each other. A disambiguation page seldom includes links to offsite information. Properly, one would create a wikipedia article on that topic (which would have the offsite link, as well as other encyclopedic information), and then the disambig page would point to that article.

You're welcome to begin the article Mark Edwards (musician) or The Original Mark Edwards (musician). (You have your own logon, so you can create new articles!) After the article exists, we/you could then link to it from the disambiguation page. It's fine to start an article as a "stub", little more than a placeholder for when the real article will be written.

Thanks again for contributing, and I hope my taking your first edit down isn't too off-putting. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sanguinity 18:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
