This is a nice discussion forum but is not appropriate for inclusion on Wikipedia. Please consult External links. In particular, discussion forums are normally not to be linked to. Regards, Knverma 21:52, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * First let me clarify that my views are in no way authoritative, and Wikipedia works by consensus. You are also right that some of the other links in these articles need to be examined for appropriateness. While I certainly consider your website to be valuable and appreciate your effort in promoting it, this is precisely what Wikipedia is not meant for. Let me quote from External links:
 * Due to the rising profile of Wikipedia and the amount of extra traffic it can bring a site, there is a great temptation to use Wikipedia to advertise or promote links. This includes both commercial and non-commercial sites. You should avoid linking to a website that you own, maintain or represent, even if the guidelines otherwise imply that it should be linked. If the link is to a relevant and informative site that should otherwise be included, please consider mentioning it on the talk page and let neutral and independent Wikipedia editors decide whether to add it. This is in line with the conflict of interest guidelines.
 * Links normally to be avoided: ... Links mainly intended to promote a website ... links to .. discussion forums .. blogs .. wikis.
 * BTW, as you seem to have familiarity with these topics, you may also consider contributing directly to the text of these articles, that would be greatly appreciated! --Knverma 09:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
