Multiple external linking
You are adding www.about-down-syndrome.com links to multiple pages. Please stop a moment and reflect. Generally external links should provide additional information to that in the articles (that on CVS did not). Even better is to add content to the wikipedia articles themselves (wikipedia is not a search engine listing of information websites). Also adding links to websites that one is an author of, or personally involved in is discouraged - there are presumably lots of websites for most conditions and what notability has one over another to warrent inclusion in wikipedia (an author/contributor of a website can not be seen as objective).

Adding of links to multiple pages is likely to be seen as spamming for the site and result in a request for deletion of all added links - so (this is only a my personal suggestion) please pause, consider and perhaps discuss first on each article's talk page :-) David Ruben Talk 02:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * In particular the screening weblink should not, in my opinion, have been added to individual wikipedia articles on individual tests. The current Downs syndrome article already carries an overview of screening at Down syndrome that links out within wikipedia. That said, links for sleep apnea, sign language clearly adding info. The claim that 50% have sleep apnea - do you know which study found this (www.about-down-syndrome.com is a tertiary source and it would be nice to cite from a primary source - see WP:Reliable sources)  David Ruben Talk 02:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
