Can I just edit something?

One of the links in the external links section should be in a "see also" section. Could I create one?--Jazzwick 09:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I already fixed this; it was recently reverted, and I can't figure out why. Chris Cunningham 10:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can I please create a See Also section? I don't think it was fair for it to be protected in the first place...

Would the editor who wrote the above please sign their contribs with 4 "~" Wilmot1 07:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent revert

What on Earth was that for? I don't see any discussion on this revert. The only part of any particular controversy is the para I added to the intro, which appears to follow talk consensus.

Further to that, it's now randomly been protected. I don't see this having even been requested. Chris Cunningham 10:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blog

Would people please stop adding the blog? Blogs must never be used as sources in biographies of living persons. See WP:BLP and WP:A, which are policy. SlimVirgin (talk) 00:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. :-) ElinorD (talk) 00:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Elinor. SlimVirgin (talk) 17:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, guilty of adding the blog as an external link (once). WP:BLP doesn't seem quite clear on this, though - "Information found in ..blogs should never be used, unless written by the subject". This clearly means you can't include info from the blog in the article; however, does this mean you can't add blogs as an external link to BLP articles, too?

I think the problem of adding it as an external link would be that there seems little need to link to a blog that has criticised Holford once. WP:EL also covers this one, and generally no, blogs etc shouldnt be used as external links. Robdurbar 13:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
