Hi Archivist100, welcome to Wikipedia! Your efforts to add information to the encyclopedia are most appreciated! However, you should familiarize yourself with our policy on external links before adding more links to articles, like you did here. In particular, the links you added to the Minnesota Historical Society violated external links to be avoided criteria #1 and #13. You will notice that I kept the link at Andrew J. Russell, since the link provides a primary source that is extremely relevant to the subject.

If you would still like to incorporate MNHS content in to articles, I would suggest adding it as citations for information in the article. Also, since you seem to be associated with MNHS (or at least a fan), you should consider joining WikiProject Minnesota, a place for Wikipedia contributors to organize their efforts in improving articles about the great state of Minnesota. If you have any questions, please leave a note on my talk page. Hopefully I'll see you around! Thanks, Mildly MadTC 19:35, 28 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
