Please cease removing redlinks to notable topics. Wikipedia encourages the creation of redlinks in order to point potential authors to topics that need articles. Mass-removal of notable redlinks is against Wikipedia policy, and if you continue to do so, you will be promptly blocked. Rebecca (talk) 08:58, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Indeed - as I was about to say - Just take care with removing red links - there are some areas of wikipedia where you may get bitten for that - you have to turn over every stone and make sure its not a scorpion underneath - :( - and if that seems mysterious - just remember that such a mission should be taken with a good pair of eyes that have ventured through the Welcome material carefully - some red links are better left alone - some need extermination - the discretion can be bewildering at times :) SatuSuro 09:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

But hey enjoy - look at the various projects around - and really check out all the main page stuff and all the welcome stuff theres a lot to check out SatuSuro 09:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

A really good way to understand the issues is to understand that in many articles a red link is where an article is required - a list is made - and say of 30 names only 2 are linked to an article - the rest are 28 articles asking to be written! there are never enough people around to fill the red links into blue links immediately SatuSuro 09:29, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
