Academy of Achievement links
Hello - Thanks for taking the time to try to understand the process for inserting external links into articles. Many people just keep pumping out links and disregard warnings that are left for them. Here's how I recommend proceeding:

First off, the idea is to work on one article at a time - pretty much anytime someone inserts the same content (especially links) into multiple articles, it's considering spamming. Next, external links should be added sparingly. It's much more preferable to add content (text) to the article than a link.

Bearing this in mind, I recommend doing one of two things:
 * 1) If you want to just add a link, mention it on the article's talk page and let other people who are knowledgeable on the subject make a determination of whether it should be included
 * 2) Add information to the article that you learned about from the link. Then, add the link as a citation (I can provide info on how to do this if you'd like). In addition to the Wikipedia method of citing, be careful to follow normal writing rules about citation - write the content in your own words, only quote very small portions of text, etc, in the same way you'd write a research paper.

Let me know if I can be of any further help! --AbsolutDan (talk) 23:26, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
