User talk:Mmechinita

Hi Mmechinita, thanks for leaving a message on my talk page. I don't believe our articles should be portals on the subjects they cover, I think we should be using editorial judgment to ensure we point to the few links that are particularly important in a field. I removed the Codex Foundation link because it did not really seem to be established yet and the website itself contained little that a reader could use except for the conference information. At the moment it seems like a promotion of the conference rather than a useful resource for most readers. My personal opinion is that should the organization and conference become established as a leader in the world of fine printing it would be an excellent link to have. Until then I think it's more suitable for a site that promotes letterpress printing than for an encyclopedia. However, I'm just one editor. If you still think it should be included I suggest you start up a discussion on the article talk page and see if you can gain the support of other editors. That's how we make decisions when there are opposing points of view, and it's quite possible I'm in the minority in this.

Also, I should say - Welcome to Wikipedia! We always need good editors, I hope you enjoy building the encyclopedia. If you haven't already, you should check out the welcome page (although you seem to have the basics well under control), the five pillars, and the how to write a great article pages. If you have any questions feel free to drop me a note on my talk page, or type   on this page along with your question and an experienced editor will be along shortly to try and help. Have fun editing. --Siobhan Hansa 14:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
