User talk:Wendy Rodrigue

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to George Rodrigue. 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 websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 16:43, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Alex- if you want to delete the external links, that is fine --- and I certainly understand and respect the integrity of Wikipedia and its sources. I gave it a try anyway, because I don't know how else to share the correct info for items that are not otherwise on Wikipedia. I did not mention my name or that I'm the artist's wife, and I don't make any money from the links or blog. I tried to leave as much of the original content as possible, however, several facts were incorrect, such as gallery locations, the source of Rodrigue's paintings, and more. In addition, much was missing regarding publications and awards. Again, I did not mean to overstep here; I was only trying to make it more helpful for those seeking information on Rodrigue, and since the post already included a number of outside links to my blog (all posted by a source unknown to me), I took a chance and added recent relevant entries.
