Welcome / Concerning World Coal Institute
[edit]Hey, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like it here and become a significant contributor. I noticed that you created World Coal Institute, and have been the only editor so far, so I figured that you're somehow affiliated with them. I saw that you've been adding links to World Coal Institute from other articles, which is good, but you might want to be careful. I really don't know too much about the subject, so I don't know for certain if those links are appropriate. Most likely, some of them are, but some should/will end up getting removed. So here's the warning I was wanting to tell you: some editors aren't as good at assuming good faith than others, so it's best to just know the policies and follow them rather than waiting until you break them to learn.
It would also help quite a bit if we made the article more encyclopedic and less like an advertisment, and made it mesh better with WP:MOS, so I'll be working on it a bit at least for a little while. As I was the one who trimmed down the links in the Coal article, I'll also be starting a discussion on Talk:Coal concerning which ones are really necessary, and you may wish to join in. Thanks, and welcome again!--Anaraug 09:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
