Hello and

- Editing tutorial

- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any blocked from editing.
- Lastly, if you are editing an article about an individual or group of people, please adhere to Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy.
The
help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page
. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

I'd encourage you to look at
WP:ELNO. The latter describes how fansites are not permitted. tedder (talk) 06:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Ted
I was only trying to add some links that would be helpful to other Transalp owners or people looking for more info on the Transalp. If Wikipedia wants to prohibit links like that or considers it spamming, I guess I wont be attempting to contribute anything else.
On a side note, I'm probably going to be in the Portland area in mid/late July for a family reunion party. I'll send you a PM thru ADVrider and maybe we could hook up for a ride & some brews.

- I figured it was about 50/50 that was you, Dave :-) Yeah, the policy behind external links at Wikipedia is strict. Long story. Let me know when you are coming, I'll add it to my calendar and we should hook up. When it's about a week away you can announce it and invite the local scum. I'd love to show you a couple of roads! tedder (talk) 21:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
