Welcome to the Wikipedia!
Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Chessmaniac! Thanks for contributing the interesting link over at the Clinical depression article. Hope you enjoy editing here and becoming a Wikipedian! Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:


 * Take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and Manual of Style.
 * When you have time, you can peruse The five pillars of Wikipedia, and assume good faith, but keep in mind the unique style you brought to the Wiki!
 * Always keep the notion of NPOV in mind, be respectful of others' POV, and remember your perspective on the meaning of neutrality is invaluable!
 * If you need any help, post your question at the Help Desk.
 * Explore, be bold in editing, and, above all else, have fun!

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, Wikiquette, and you can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, Chessmaniac, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 07:31, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Chess blogs
Most blogs in general are considered as spam, and I'm trying to trim the Chess article in general from most of the exeternal links. Please see External links. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 03:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Just create a article called Chess blog and don't only add all links there, as that will be gone fast. Add like the history of chess blogs, what they are used for, etc. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 05:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Chess. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites that you are affiliated with, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 19:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

How come my link can not be included in the list? If this is not allowed then why is red hot pawn and scheming mind allowed?
