Hi everyone, I think I've reached a point in Wikipedia where I feel I should have my own page! Good, so let's start about me. I'm currently a Project Manager, I've worked for a long time outside Canada and now I've settled down. I am new to Wikipedia, and I love it! People are so friendly and nice, and always helpful! I started being an active Wikipedian when I read an article about Project Management and I saw a lot of bad external links, mainly used to promote the website, and not even relevant to the site itself. The thing is I always try to be very fair, I look at the site very carefully (I actually read the content) and I see if:
- The site is relevant
- The site is non commercial
- The relevant content is not just one page
If the site doesn't meet all of the above I remove it on the spot.
I have most of the project management articles watched, so if someone adds/removes a link, I tend to investigate and take the appropriate action. As a human, I make mistakes, please tell me on my talk page if I removed a link that you deem worthy. I'm not rude, I'm very easy going; I'm the definition of a Canadian. If I see someone removing an external link that I deem worthy, I tend to re-add the link and notify the person who removed the link. I don't like getting into fights, I'm here to make the project management section of Wikipedia better. Although it might seem from my history that I tend to be very harsh with external links, I'm the total opposite. The thing is however, that all the links that I'm removing are 100% commercial, and just using Wikipedia's power to get more sales, while not being intellectually beneficial for the reader.
Again, "To Err is Human", so please notify me immediately in case I make a mistake. I'm striving to be a good Wikipedian!
