User talk:Wim Borsboom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] March 2008

Regarding your repeated inclusion of a link to your own blog at Noble Eightfold Path, I think User:XLinkBot's prior post to your IP address' talk page (at here) was informative. Here's an excerpt from it that I think is worth highlighting:

Note that such sites [e.g., blogs] should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Your repeated insertion of a link to your own blog fails this criteria on two accounts:

• You are not a recognized reliable source (see WP:RS)
• You are the creator of that blog and thus "involved"

I've elaborated further at Talk:Noble_Eightfold_Path#Addition_of_personal_blog_to_.22External_links.22_section. As indicated there, I applaud your enthusiasm for Buddhism but request that, when editing Wikipedia (WP), you abide by its policies and guidelines. I truly wish you well,
