User talk:Drugdb

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
To sign your name on a talk page, please finish your comments with ~~~~ (four tildes). The wiki will insert a link to your userpage and the timestamp.
Not every subject needs its own page. Sometimes it is wiser to deal with certain subjects together on one page. See Wikipedia:Merge and Wikipedia:Redirect for some background. You may want to review Avoiding common mistakes to get started quickly.
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck! JFW | T@lk 23:24, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hey Drugdb, I'm glad you've created a username. I'm not discriminating against your links at all (I do this to other people's links as well).

I quote: "But of course there's nothing wrong with adding both lists of links and lists of on-line references you used in writing an article."

Why are you discriminating against my links and not others? There's nothing wrong with on-topic, relevant links. And, yes, my links are references. I really don't understand what your problem is.

The problem is that even on-topic links can flood an article's external links section. For the ones you insert there are dozens of equally valid ones. For one topic, no more than 2-3 high-quality links are often enough. Any more would amount to overkill. Why would your links be better than drugs.com? And why do you only insert links to "popular" drugs?

You are welcome to Wikipedia, but I think your efforts would be better spent on actually updating article text instead of inserting links and arguing with me about it. JFW | T@lk 23:33, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
