We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

external links should be limited and universal[edit]

Hello, I'm TheRedPenOfDoom. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a link wall. Including white pages to one country (say England) does no benefit to readers in another country (say Liberia) and adding links to every set of white pages becomes a spam wall of links. In addition, the external links themselves should be for supplying content about the subject to readers, not hooking them up with a search to be able to use the subject.

Does that help? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:48, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it really does help, d'huh on me, sorry. I will read more and try to get my head around this more before I jump in again, thanks for explaining, much appreciated Redtango88 (talk) 18:06, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

it is not at all unusual for editors to come in and not quite grasp the unique space and approach that it is in creating an encyclopedia in their first edits. But feel free to take your best shot, you cannot break it - just be willing to learn if someone reverts your suggestion. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:16, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
