Hello Haakon, I was going to supply the usual welcome to Misplaced Pages but I seen from your contributions that you have been an intermittent contributor for more than a year. Somehow you slipped under the radar of the welcoming committee! Or perhaps you are more active in another language.

I am sure this is all superfluous, but here it is anyway:

Here are some useful links if you need any help:

• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

greetings

Hi. I am looking for people interested in computing for inviting them in a non-Misplaced Pages (and non-Wikimedia) wiki project. I found you by looking at the history of the KGX article. I had a look at your Misplaced Pages contributions and found them good. I believe my project, which is a wiki about computer science and a wiki about information technology, will be of interest to you. If you want to be considered for invitation in the "core team" of the project, list your name at User:Npc/List. If you ignore this notice, I promise you that I will never send you any more messages. Thank you very much! Npc 23:42, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

This link is not a spam sir.

Dear sir,

This link does not contain spam. It is a very populer site and it has about 500 visitors a day so please let it be added into the winmx page. link: http://www.oldapps.com/winMX.htm

Thank You, admin

Whether the site is popular or not is besides the issue; Misplaced Pages is not a link collection. Please see Misplaced Pages:External links, specifically, the "What should not be linked to" section. Quote: Adding links to one's own page is strongly discouraged. The mass adding of links to any website is also strongly discouraged ... I'm guessing you have some vested interest in oldapps.com, and you have certainly mass-added it to many articles, even when there is no clear interest for old versions of the applications. Finally, the site is pretty loaded with advertisement, which makes your motivation for adding the links even clearer, in my opinion. I am, however, not an admin, and if you disagree with me and the others reverting your adds, please raise the issue at Village Pump or another venue, and refer to any consensus there in your edit summaries if you continue to add the links.

Proxy Server

Stop editing Proxy Server page.You've deleted some of the most quality proxy server resources proxyblind, digitalcybersoft and keep some unknown as whatismyproxy page that have nothing to do or have a very little information about proxy except one simple testing. If you chose to editing some page then take a look for quality resources about proxy server and not to preferring page that you like for whatever reason.

Thanks

I'm sorry, I did not mean to discriminate; I removed the other link too now. Misplaced Pages is not a link repository, we link to external resources that may be informative for those who have further interest in the topic. DMOZ has everything else, and we link to the relevant DMOZ entry too. Haakon 15:04, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

You said "Clean up External links: we link only to places useful for people who have further interest in the topic. DMOZ has everything else.) " One link is still there except Dmoz.If you preferer DMOZ as sources for proxy server (however i disagree with you) then leave only DMOZ. The problem is that DMOZ does have only some links to proxies.DMOZ is simple directory resources. I'm more for option to keep quality resources as it was all time (you suddenly start with deleting everything).For example the link that you forget to delete (Proxy) have some info about working of proxyserver, proxyblind (have a lot usefull infos), digitalcybersoft(have info's with programs too). I would ask you to think again about your move.If you understand how works proxies servers then take a time and look to deleted quality resources and place them back again.
