 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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 policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Re-adding external links to www.highlighthealth.com without discussion is considered vandalism Mdwyer 05:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I wanted to let you know that I was in no way trying to spam or vandalize Wikipedia with the links I added to www.highlighthealth.com. I though the articles I wrote on www.highlighthealth.com were accurate and on-topic, as well as comprehensive enough to warrant the links. I have followed your instructions and am asking about including a link on the talk pages of the Wikipedia Hand Washing, Nasal Congestion and Cancer articles. Sorry for the trouble and thank you for advising me on the correct procedure for external link inclusion. Wjjessen 16:24, 26 February 2007 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Smiley.svg|25px]] Thank you! We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Your apology or cleanup  was greatly appreciated. I look forward to your further positive contributions.  Mdwyer 15:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Good edits, Wjjessen. I appreciated the info on dichloroacetic acid, and I think Mdwyer should lighten up a little. Looks like you're trying to help.--Dr.michael.benjamin 21:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I am trying to help out. I don't have a problem with Mdwyer's edits. He's right, I should have asked for feedback regarding the www.highlighthealth.com articles I want to add instead of just adding them. Wjjessen 22:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I tend to be somewhat jumpy about external links, and I tend to err towards a strict reading of WP:EL. Usually, that serves me well.  Most of the time, it really is a fly-by-night linkspammer.  Every so often, it is just a misunderstanding.
 * This is certainly the latter case, and I hope you understand how greatly I appreciate you putting up with me and STILL returning to add your expertise to Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a rule that says "Please do not bite the newcomers", and I strongly apologize if I was a little too bitey. --Mdwyer 03:26, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it - I understand completely. As I indicated above, I think you're right and I should have asked for feedback on the talk pages instead of just blindly adding links. I am surprised there aren't more comments on the talk pages in response to my request, but then again asking to place an external link may not happen frequently. In any case, thanks for the positive feedback and I hope I can continue to contribute. Wjjessen 05:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
