Greetings - I disagree with Hu12, and I think your addition of links to Johns Hopkins University's DermAtlas are not only appropriate, but commendable. We even have a template, at Template:DermAtlas, to faciliate these additions. I don't want you to get discouraged from what you read above. But I would also like to encourage you to get an account -- more details on how and why are available at Wikipedia:Why create an account?. Thank you for your contributions and your patience, and if you have any questions about how to contribute effectively, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. --Arcadian 00:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
