Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Amenorrhoea do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. 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. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. RJASE1 Talk  05:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. There is valuable Q&A on the site I posted dealing with Amenorrhoea. What is the best way to add that resource to the article?
 * Just a heads-up - adding multiple links to a particular site makes it appear that you may be a spammer - please read this guideline, thanks. The guideline on external links explains how to gain consensus for adding external links to an article. Happy editing! RJASE1 Talk  05:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I am not a spammer and appreciate the guidance. Fdesouza 06:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of MedHelp
I've nominated MedHelp, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that MedHelp satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/MedHelp and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of MedHelp during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.RJASE1 Talk  05:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

RJASE1, I feel that MedHelp is notable and the article should stay on Wikipedia for 3 reasons. 1. MedHelp was founded in 1994 and is one of the first Healthcare community sites on the Internet. It precedes by several years, sites such as WebMD, Revolution Health and HealthBoards, all of which have articles on Wikipedia. 2. According to media measurement services such as HitWise and CommScore it is among the Top 10 largest healthcare online healthcare communities on the Internet, with 2.5 million users per month. 3. Several MedHelp articles have been referenced by wikipedia authors in their articles on topics such as Dyshidrosis, Proteinuria etc.

I will make these arguments on the deletion page. Fdesouza 06:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
