[edit] .·. The Secret Links! .·.

You will notice that many times I place some "secret links" in my writing. for example: .·. This contains three secret links. Click on the links, read the articles, and win a WikiCookie! Then come to my talk page and tell me which links you clicked and read, listing the pages you found them and the actual links, and I will increase your WikiCookie counter.

Secret links may also be placed in this way: blah - blah - blah - blah. this contains two secret links.

Example for WikiCookie request: Hello. I clicked and read your secret links to Wassily Leontief, Greece, In.gr found from your votes in Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. I request 3 WikiCookies! Thanks, User signature.

Note that you must read the whole articles you will find from my Secret Links, word-by-word, otherwise you get no WikiCookies!

If you fix grammatical and spelling mistakes in my articles found from Secret Links you will win two WikiCookies for each article (one for reading it and one for fixing it)! Inform me about the fixings you made. Note that you are free to fix such mistakes in my userpage and request WikiCookies for it.

In case you add more information in the article, inform me, and I will review it. If I like it I will give you one extra WikiCookie! :)

So you can win a maximum of three WikiCookies for each article: One for reading it, one for fixing it and one for improving it!

Exceptions: Secret Links to my talk page do not yield any WikiCookies. The normal link to my userpage from my signature is not considered a Secret Link, but if you find a Secret Link to my userpage then you can request WikiCookies if you read it word-by-word and carefully!

What if you find two Secret Links linking to the same article? You can win WikiCookies only for one of them.

You cannot request more WikiCookies for a Secret Link you have already found. Also, you cannot request more WikiCookies about an article for which you have already requested WikiCookies in the past.

You can request WikiCookies for Secret Links pointing to an article which was not started by me or I have not contributed to it.

Note that I can give you WikiCookies as gifts whenever I want.

[edit] .·. SLSS .·.

SLSS stands for Secret Link Suggestion Service.

It is true that I place Secret Links primarily to "my" articles, but I also place Secret Links to other articles.

I accept suggestions for Secret Links. If you find some good article, just inform me at my talk page. Don't forget to explain explicitly that the page you are referring to is a suggestion for a Secret Link.

Example suggestion for Secret Link: Hello. I suggest you to use England as a Secret Link, I think it is a good page that everyone should read. Thanks.

Another example, shorter, that you can use if you are too boring to type or paste long sentences: SLSS: England

After I read your suggestion and check the relevant article(s), I will answer you (at my talk page) by telling you whether I placed a Secret Link to the article(s) you suggested. However, I will not reveal to you the position of the Secret Link; Go and find it by yourself, dude!
