Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. --McGeddon (talk) 11:52, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

This is the first addition to the Wikipedia I have done, so please forgive me the possible breach of etiquette (or format) that may have happened.

The political limerick is a form not any less important than the forms already covered within the article, and I have added a link to the list of references already listed in the article, because the reference added is the largest single collection of political limericks on the Web - all organized (with their own factual references), all original, all with perfect meter and rhyme, with multiple variations within the style, and all presented in a way, appropriate for a wide readership. The web site where this collection is stored, is not a personal web site - it is a non-profit political satire site.

A supporting example: in the existing list of references, Wikipedia currently has a list of limericks on physics, which - while they may have been coming from a Harvard professor - do not represent neither a better selection, nor a better poetry.

Since, like you said, Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, and its external links are disregarded by some search engines, the link value for the site in question is minimal - however, the inclusion of a good and representative collection of modern limericks in the Wikipedia article is beneficial for Wikipedia readers.
