Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. --Imroy 10:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

To add to the above, blogs are generally a poor choice to link to. I'll admit I was in two minds about deleting the link on Six Sigma, but that page suffers from enough stupid links, of various types, so we tend to regard less as more. Greglocock 11:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, then that is a total loss to your users, and I don't understand the need or use for an 'external links' section to be available at all. Even the links that are still there are wholly irrelevant to the topics that they are attached to. In my case, while the entries I post are in a blog format from an operational perspective, it is mostly a teaching blog that educates on various topics and techniques that match to many of your current topics and categories on wikipedia. In almost every case, the content is far better than the garbage provided by Wikipedia on these topics and I felt that linking to my posts would be of tremendous benefit to the users/readers of this site to get quality information and detail on these topics. I am sorry that you feel that users of this system should be denied access to this information. Thanks for your time and lack of consideration. Craigwb 2:38, 14 March 2007 (EST)

"Such pages could contain further research that is accurate and on-topic; information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks); or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article." And this accurately describes MY additions.
