Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Sdkb (talk) 03:22, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Apologies, Chris, after looking at your edits a bit more, they do all seem to be in good faith, so my templated warning above was overly harsh. They do tend to be to neighborhood guides from commercial entities, though, which would be more appropriate for citations than external links. You can read more at WP:ELNO if you're curious; the basic idea is that it's better for us to host relevant info here on Wikipedia than to send readers off-site to somewhere else (that, in this case, might also be trying to sell them an apartment). Apologies again; I'll give you a more proper welcome below. Sdkb (talk) 03:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Sdkb, appreciate you taking another look - I'm not trying to add irrelevant links, just trying to add value to my DC area :) (ChrisK1 (talk) 16:33, 5 November 2019 (UTC));
