many external links to topwalks
Uh, have you read WP:EXT? I probably should have said something before now, but linking to topwalks.net from dozens of plant articles doesn't really seem to fit wikipedia policies such as WP:NOT and WP:SPAM. You can respond by editing this talk page (I'll watch it for a few days at least). I also don't know how much you know about wikipedia, but there's lots of helpful material at WP:WELCOME.

Dear Wikipedia user, Sorry about the external links, but I thought they could be helpful for people looking information on the plants. I promise never to add links, edit or otherwise contribute to Wikipedia. Regards, Paula


 * I certainly wasn't trying to tell you never to add anything to wikipedia, and I doubt Lavateraguy was either (sorry we ganged up on you - it was a coincidence that we both left a note at the same time). The topwalks site looks like an interesting and informative one (which is partly why I didn't say anything about the links at first). I've left a welcome note at the end of this page, if that does anything to express my desire to encourage you to find ways to contribute. Kingdon (talk) 18:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The root page for the topwalks plant gallery would be a sensible external link for a Flora of Spain or Flora of Iberia page if there was such a thing. What about, or is external links on a category page a no-no? Lavateraguy (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Possibly I was a little brusque, but what I wanted was for User:Reporein to reconsider her edits before she put much more effort into them, and before she ran into someone into zero-tolerance on policies like WP:COI. Lavateraguy (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
