[edit] Secret behind The Secret Project:

The link you add at The Secret — External links is to an empty page. Wikipedia policy at, Links normally to be avoided, states:

[avoid] Links to open wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors.

The open Wiki page you linked to is empty of content. I think you had a typo and accidently added a colon to the end of the address. If this is the intended address: Secret_behind_The_Secret_Project it still does not qualify because it has only two editors. I like the feel of the site and think it shows promise. Unfortunately, Wikipedia—as I understand it—cannot be used to publicize the site. —WikiLen 19:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
