Thank you for the quick response MrOllie. How would one insert a reference or example without it being considered using WIKI as a "soapbox"? Thank you Palmbeech (talk) 14:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It is usually better not to insert examples, especially web sites, because spammers will inevitably come along and insert their own site and make an ever growing list. More specific to this case, it will help a lot to avoid mentioning sites that we've just had WP:COI problems with, as documented here. - MrOllie (talk) 14:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you in advance MrOllie. Palmbeech (talk) 15:57, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
