[edit] External links

Hi,

First, welcome (as above).

Second, external links on wikipedia have specific guidelines. For one, they should be kept to a minimum, 'cause wikipedia is not a linkfarm. Second, most editors are death on spam, and that includes external links which have any sort of advertisements in them. Third, links with information should be referenced as per WP:RS. Fourth, any information that is in a link should be integrated into the article body - external links are for things that can't be put into the body text, like videos, sound clips, links to major organizations, company websites and such the like.

I urge you to check out WP:EL to get a better sense of the information. If you are actually a chiropractic student, you would be a huge wealth of information for may of the articles on wikipedia. Even better than that, you probably have a huge stack of textbooks that meet wikipedia's reliable sources guidelines. So welcome, please keep contributing, and have a look at some of the policy pages. If you'd like to continue this as a dialogue, feel free to use my talk page.

Just to let you know, I am going to keep removing the tendonitis link, for the reasons stated above. WLU 12:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

There is a reply to you on my talk page. Also, when adding to talk pages, convention is add below previous comments so the page can be read in chronological order from top to bottom. See this section of the talk page guidelines; the whole page is actually a pretty handy read. Thanks,
