You may want to read WP:EL which includes WP:ELNO. The former includes as the introduction "Wikipedia articles may include links to web pages outside Wikipedia (external links), but they should not normally be used in the body of an article. All external links must conform to certain formatting restrictions. Some acceptable links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

"Some external links are welcome (see "What should be linked", below), but it is not Wikipedia's purpose to include a lengthy or comprehensive list of external links related to each topic. No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justifiable according to this guideline and common sense. The burden of providing this justification is on the person who wants to include an external link.

"This guideline concerns external links that are not citations to sources supporting article content. If the website or page to which you want to link includes information that is not yet a part of the article, consider using it as a source for the article, and citing it. Guidelines for sourcing, which includes external links used as citations, are discussed at Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Citing sources."

And below: "1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article."

"5. Links to web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to web pages with objectionable amounts of advertising. For example, the mobile phone article does not link to web pages that mostly promote or advertise cell-phone products or services."

Linking to JesusFreakHideout is not appropriate because the exist to make money, they sell a service. The information there could be included in the Emery article with only a little bit of work. Please take the time to learn the rules around editing and it will avoid what is called an edit war. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:22, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

While I'm showing you the ropes, I should point out the three revert rule. It in essence says, you can be blocked for removing something or undoing another editor's edits more than three times on the same article in the course of a day. It usually won't be imposed if it's on three different parts of an article, but it can be. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:29, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Opa-locka Airport. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Donald Albury 00:59, 27 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Kiss my ass.

  Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. (see immediately above) Dl2000 (talk) 03:02, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Saying "kiss my ass" is NOT an attack. If I said something derogatory about that editor, THAT would be an attack. Got it now? Good.
