External Links

Hi BrianZ. Regarding your link to atkinsalltheway.com in the Atkins Nutritional Approach article ... you might have better luck if you opened a discusson on the talk page of that article explaining why you feel that link should be included. You can also take a look at this page to see how your link may qualify for inclusion. Monkeyman^(talk) 18:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again

Good to see that you've been busy on both your user page and articles. I fixed a couple of broken wikilinks to technical writer on your userpage. If a link shows up in red, it's pointing to a page that doesn't exist.

You might want to be careful about posting too much personal information on your page. In the past, some less than scrupulous vandals have been known to take things into real life. Emailing complaints to people's employers has happened in the past. It's your choice about how much you reveal, but I thought I would give you a heads up. --GraemeL ^(talk) 22:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the heads up. I was 50/50 on adding my employer. I also plan on looking into adding articles on some of the red links. BrianZ 22:41, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your VandalProof Application

Dear BrianZ,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that that you have not made enough edits.. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. --Xyra e l ^T 15:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, I'll continue to make edits and apply again later in the summer BrianZ 15:14, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I wasn't patronising you with the .. after my reason, but it was a typo instead. Just thought I'd rather clear that up, and thanks for your understanding. See you around the project. --Xyra e l ^T 15:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I didn't even take it literally. :) BrianZ 15:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
