 * No explanation is neeeded.  I am deleting these links because they are against wikipedia policy.  as stated above, wikipedia is not a collection of external links, or a web directory.   Simply being topical and or even well regarded does not mean that a site merits inclusion with an external link.   Maybe this sounds rude, but a link to a trivia site, unless the article is about trivia, at best is non-encyclopedic and worst they is simple spam  promoting the trivia web site.    I'm sorry if that offends you, but you should not re-add these sites to wikipedia, continuing to do so will be considered vandalism and action will be taken against your account.  - Trysha (talk) 09:29, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Let me add a little more. Because this is an encyclopedia, information available from WP's articles should be encyclopedic in nature, at least that's the way it's been interpreted so far. Info on the quiz pages appears to be arranged in quizzes, not in a more-accessible format where one can get information about dogs. So although it's related to dogs, it's not going to be particularly useful to readers who are looking for information about dogs.  Elf | Talk 00:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
