 * Hello...how are you? GbT/c 14:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

great it works. I would like to add a site for external reference to one posting. The rules say it needs to be approved. Whom do I ask for approval?
 * Depends...what's the site and what's the page that you want to add it to? GbT/c 17:55, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

The site is www.half-marathon-running.com for "marathon" page (for glycogen storage and hitting the wall section in particular) and perhaps as a reference to the "half-marathon" page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Halfmarathonrunning (talk • contribs)
 * Well, I'd suggest you link directly to the "hitting the wall" page on www.half-marathon-running.com to the Half marathon page. There's no real formal approval, but if someone else disagrees with the addition then they're as free to remove it as you were to insert it!
 * There are a couple of things you need to be aware of, though. Firstly, whilst links which add value to the encyclopaedia are encouraged, people don't tend to look as kindly to people inserting links to sites that they may be associated with - if you have a conflict of interest then it may be seen more like you are spamming. Secondly, our username policy generally discourages people from having usernames which are names of companies, websites or organisations to promote that company, website or organisation. Yours is pretty borderline, but what it may mean is that people are more likely to object to your adding the site as an external link...only one way to find out, though - be bold and go ahead and add it!
