Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.David Ruben Talk 00:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] June 2008

Please stop adding "see also" link to OpenEpi to every article on statistical tests. The program is generally not relevant to spcific otehr tests (clearly specificity is a relevant link on sensitivity, but a list of calculators is not). David Ruben Talk 20:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
