[edit] Haiku
Deleting all the major haiku journals in the external links section of the haiku article, which you've now done twice, is considered vandalism and if you continue doing that will get you either temporarily blocked or permanently banned from the Wikipedia.
Regarding your adding of your new haiku journal to the external links section, you should read Wikipedia:External links. Your journal is not yet notable and does not warrant inclusion in the external links section. One criteria that I would use for notability is having haiku that you've published being regularly included in the Red Moon Press annual haiku anthologies. There are over a dozen of haiku journals that meet that criteria and have internet websites. The haiku article for the Wikipedia only needs a few links to the very top journals, such as the very-well-respected Heron's Nest haiku journal.
For an example of losing notability, I recently deleted the tinywords.com link because they have gone on hiatus. BlankVerse 10:41, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
