A comment
Hi! I see you've been adding a link to a new forum for aspies.

Far be it from me to criticise a site I've never logged into, particularly when I'm familiar with (and like) some of the admins and many of the users. However: it is a new and small site compared to wrongplanet, so if you want that link to be left intact, I'd recommend that you go to the talk page for Asperger Syndrome and tell people why you think it deserves inclusion. That method is likely to be far more effective than just trying to re-add it every time someone deletes it. That method will also keep you out of trouble; re-adding material repeatedly without discussion is not looked at in a very positive way.

Regards,

 * Yes, links to forums generally shouldn't be added per the guidelines on external links. External links sections should contain links to reliable sources and content relevant to the article - forums are not considered reliable sources because there is no easy way to verify what is written on them. If one forum link is added then other people will try to add forum links, like a slippery slope effect. I removed your link before noticing the message above. Graham 87 03:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
