[edit] RE: backlinks
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your message on my talk page. Per WP:EL (external links guidelines), one shouldn't add links to websites that he/she is affiliated with. It's best to incorporate information directly into Wikipedia articles whenever possible, and then cite the information using reliable sources. "Bare" external links really do not help an article much, as Wikipedia is aiming for a print version.
If you truly feel that your links offer resources that are truly useful for an article, the accepted compromise is for you to mention the link on the article's talk page and allow other (neutral) editors to discuss the link and determine if it should be included.
If you run across other links that are not appropriate for an article, please feel free to remove them yourself. Or, if you're uncertain, bring it up on the article's talk page.
I hope this clears things up
-Dan
