[edit] linkspam
Thank you for joining and contributing to Wikipedia! We appreciate all positive contributions here. I just had a note on Wikipedia policy when it comes to external links, since it seems you've been adding quite a few links to the World Bank website. Please review "Wikipedia is not an internet directory" before continuing to add external links. Links to blogs are generally removed, as are links to general "directory" pages. I went through and removed all such contributions of yours but left the "archived online discussions" and "policy notes on..." since they represent real substance that contributes to the overall article. For example, listing links to a lot of different organizations turns Wikipedia into an internet directory, which it isn't supposed to be. Also review Wikipedia:External links and External link spamming for more information. Thanks! --Rkitko 17:55, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
