RE:E-Mail edit
Hi - I just got the e-mail you sent me. The best way to incorporate a link into an article is to bring it up on the article's talk page. Allow other editors to discuss the merits of the link and decide whether to include it. That way the link has the weight of consensus behind the link. I hope this helps --AbsolutDan (talk) 23:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
