Recent edit to List of golf course architects
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the List of golf course architects article, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. You may find our linking guidelines helpful in this regard. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Re: Ron Garl Listing in Golf Course Architects
Since you wrote on my user page in stead of my talk page I'll replay to you here. Ron is a world renowned golf course architect. Do you do any research before rejecting these listings?
 * Yes, I do. The reason I reverted your edit is that you added a link to his website in the main body of the article. Please place external links in a footnote instead. See External links Mduvekot (talk) 21:18, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Michiel - I mean you no disrespect. I am fairly computer illiterate and couldn't figure out how (or where) to type a message to you on your talk page which is the only reason I messaged you on this page. If you could talk me through what I am trying to do, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. TheGolfinGuy (talk) 21:29, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
 * You can talk to me here. I get notified when you reply to me. Here's what you can do to make an entry to the list. In stead of

*Ron Garl, www.rongarl.com
 * write

*Ron Garl, former President of the Florida Golf Alliance
 * of course, it would be better the article existed first. At this time, Ron Garl does not exist, so adding it to the list is perhaps a bit premature. I noticed that there are quite a few red links to his name, so it should be possible to find reliable sources and create the article. Then, once you've created that article, you can add

=== External links === * official website
 * at the end of the article.
 * If you need more help, the teahouse is a great place. All the best,
