Zolpidem

kindly explain why did you remove my changes. The added links were quite relevant and informational, also The Vanguard Group and Hi5, why do you revert my edits? Lysimachos (talk) 23:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry about that. I removed those external links to the zolpidem article because one was broken and one duplicated what was already in the article (see WP:EL, if there are pieces of information missing it's better to move them (without violating copyrights) into the article rather than just link it). I must have mixed you up with a link spammer (we get a mind-boggling number of those on the drug articles) and then reverted your other link additions too. Hardly a warm welcome to wikipedia, my apologies again, and happy editing! --fvw * 22:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the late welcome, please reconsider then and revert back some of my edits. Also maybe there is an efficient way to check if a link is already present in the article (there are sometimes too many of them to check manually) Lysimachos (talk) 05:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd already reverted the changes to Vanguard and Hi5, I really don't think the links on zolpidem added anything, but feel free to discuss it on the article's talk page. As for finding which links are already there, I'm afraid I don't know any better when than going to the edit view and doing a text search, which should get you any use in external links or references. --fvw * 06:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
